About The Role
We know that children looked after and care leavers often face unique challenges around emotional health and well-being. To strengthen the support we provide, Bury Council has invested in creating two specialist Social Worker roles dedicated to this area. These roles are part of our commitment to delivering trauma-informed, relationship-based practice that helps young people build resilience and thrive.

This means you’ll have access to expert guidance, reflective practice, and specialist training to enhance your skills and confidence in supporting children and young people.
