Assistant Team Manager    

“I didn’t think I’d be able to take a degree at my age until I was offered it by Tameside Council, and here I am now as a qualified social worker.’’

Lesley

Assistant Team Manager

“I can work from the office; I can work from home. I can start a little later because as long as I get my hours in through the week it’s fine.’’

Angela

Social Worker

“If you’ve got that caring nature in you, you’re not going to stop it. It’s such a fulfilling, rewarding job where there are no two days alike. If I can help just one person in a day, that’s my job done.’’

Sue

Community Response Service Coordinator 

“It’s definitely rewarding when somebody is at the point of crisis and we help to keep them at home as they wish, rather than going into hospital. The team’s fantastic, we all really pull together to help each other. We’ve got really good opportunities right now for apprenticeships and have a lot of staff going through the apprenticeship scheme to qualify as a social worker.’’
