About Us
Message from Stephanie Butterworth, Director of Adults Services at Tameside Council.
I’ve worked here for many years now and I’m proud of the work that we do together, ensuring people in our borough are living a good life.
Our vision is one which sees people living well in the place they call home, where they are supported to be a part of their local communities to live long, healthy and fulfilled lives.
One way I regularly connect and listen to our workforce is through my monthly staff drop-in with our Principal Social Worker. This is an opportunity to create dedicated time for staff to share ideas, team updates and network across our services. It’s amazing to hear during sessions that they really value being part of Team Tameside and the opportunities that we bring, so we can make sure that they are part of delivering our ambition for the people we support.
Working in Adult Social Care is a rewarding and fulfilling career choice, where you can really make a difference to people’s lives every day. We will support you to develop and fulfil your potential and create space for you to reflect and grow. We are dedicated to breaking barriers, so our workforce is rich with experience and understanding, always building and championing social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.
People are always at the heart of everything we do; if our vision sounds like something you want to be part of, we offer a warm welcome to join us here at Team Tameside.
At Tameside, we are committed to ensuring all our Citizens lead long, fulfilling and healthy lives. We are committed to supporting economic growth, providing high quality health and care services, protecting our most vulnerable and creating strong and supportive, self‑sufficient communities.
We recognise that our people drive our success and enable the organisation to deliver on its vision, purpose and priorities, and that our people are our most important resource and asset. Our values underpin our practice and behaviours, and are at the heart of everything that we do; and we understand that how we do things is just as important as what we do. We pride ourselves on living by our STRIVE values of Support, Trust, Respect, Integrity, Value Diversity and Engage.
Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to offer sponsorship.
We are committed to developing a culture which respects individuals, appreciates difference and allows everyone regardless of background to reach their full potential. We are proud to be an accredited disability confident employer. Reasonable Adjustments will be considered in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 in relation to the Job Role Criteria.
