Last week, Bury Care Academy's first Leadership and Development Programme (LEAD) of 2026 concluded. Our latest group of senior care professionals met at Outreach Community & Support in Radcliffe for their final upskilling session of the programme. Day 5 of the programme centred on 'Encourage the Heart'; leaders learnt how to recognise and celebrate success while reflecting on and celebrating their own journey throughout the programme. See all the action and real feedback from the participants on the course here...

Today marks the final day of Bury Care Academy's Young People's Project, and it is one of the proudest moments we have experienced since opening our doors in mid-2025.

Bury Care Academy's LEAD Leadership & Development Programme is back for 2026. We welcomed a brand new cohort of care managers and supervisors to Outreach Community in Radcliffe for Day 1 of five immersive sessions, here's what happened and why it matters

Following the success of our Digital Skills event on Tuesday 3rd February, many of you asked for more practical guidance on how to replace time-consuming, paper-based processes, particularly incident logging. We listened.

This week saw the start of a new chapter for not only Bury Care Academy but also for a special selection of young people, all of whom are about to take their first step into a career in Health and Social Care. Our Young People's Project is a 4 week ecomonic inactivity trailblazer designed to help young people aged 16-24, currently not in any form of education or employment. By the end of these 4 weeks, these young people will have the tools needed to secure a career in Adult Social Care. Check out highlights from the first two days of the programme here, featuring guest speakers from Art of Brilliance, Bury Council, and the Falls team at Bardoc.

Highlights from the Bury Care Academy's first Digital Skills Event, bringing care providers together to build digital confidence and explore new technology.

Over the past fortnight, Bury Care Academy has been on the road, connecting with hundreds of young people across two local secondary schools to showcase the rewarding career opportunities available in the care sector.

Yesterday marked a significant milestone for Bury's care sector as our first cohort of care leaders completed their five-week leadership transformation at BARDOC's Moorgate Primary Care Centre. The final session, Encourage the Heart, brought together everything participants had learned throughout the programme, focusing on how recognition, appreciation, and celebrating wins create the culture that high-performing teams need to thrive.

As Bury Care Academy's Leadership and Development Programme (LEAD) breaks for the Christmas period, participants have reached a significant milestone, completing three intensive sessions that are already transforming their approach to leadership in the care sector.

Bury Care Academy brought festive cheer and career opportunities to the local community at the Persona Care and Support Christmas Fair, held at the Polish Social Centre in Bury. The event provided an ideal opportunity for community members to explore rewarding careers in health and social care while enjoying seasonal festivities.

Care sector managers and supervisors across Bury have begun an transformative journey with Bury Care Academy's comprehensive Leadership Development Programme (LEAD). The intensive 5-week course, which commenced this week, represents a significant investment in developing the next generation of care sector leaders.
