“I was drawn to the role because it allows me to work closely with people and play a meaningful part in their recovery.

"Many people we support have faced loss, rejection or abandonment, so having the time to understand their individual needs and build trust is really important.

"The best part of my job is seeing someone who once felt hopeless and isolated grow in confidence and independence, and achieve things they never thought possible.”

Angela has worked at Pennine Care for ten years, building her career from nursing assistant to technical instructor, and now as a support worker in our Tameside south specialist mental health team.

Her passion for helping others is rooted in her own experiences. Having overcome childhood trauma and facing cancer in her early thirties while raising two young children, Angela understands the importance of support during difficult times.

Thank you to all the community support workers, who play a vital role in helping people on their recovery journey. Check out our Pennine Care Jobs a for careers like this that make a real difference and change lives.

A lot goes on behind the scenes to keep healthcare services running smoothly.

Estates and facilities teams are often the hardworking, hidden heroes responsible for catering, cleaning, repairs, maintenance and creating safe, welcoming environments for patients and staff.

Every year, managers from the team roll up their sleeves and swap their usual roles on a ‘back to the floor day’.

The switch gives managers the chance to gain a deeper understanding of the day-to-day challenges, pressures and achievements of colleagues.

This year, at Birch Hill Hospital, Alexander, facilities manager, served breakfasts in the Haven Café.

Sean, estates operations manager, worked alongside a facilities assistant on Hollingworth ward.

While Chris, sustainability manager, and Michelle, senior facilities manager, joined the estates team to experience their day-to-day work.

These jobs are the foundation for our mental health, learning disability and autism services – and just some of the diverse careers available in the NHS. Follow Pennine Care Jobs to see the latest.

We're delighted to have secured funding from NHS Charities Together for a new workforce wellbeing programme called Think Well.

Think Well will help our staff neurodiversity network at Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, providing coaching for neurodivergent colleagues, training for managers, and a supportive toolkit.

It will also fund training for three network members to help strengthen workplace support for neurodivergent colleagues.

Better support for staff ultimately means better care for patients and people in our local communities. It's also part of Pennine Care's big ambition to be a great place to work.

We’re a finalist for T Level Employer of the Year in the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards 2026.

The nomination recognises our successful partnership with Oldham College, with our estates team providing placements for building services engineering, plumbing and electrical T Level students.

The placements give students valuable real-world experience alongside their studies, helping them develop the skills and confidence needed for future careers.

They've also benefited our workforce at Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, with three former students already securing jobs within our estates team.

Our estates and facilities team support our mental health, learning disability and autism across five boroughs of Greater Manchester. They help to keep our 88 locations safe, efficient and well-maintained for patients, staff and visitors.

Congratulations and good luck to everyone involved in the project. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in October.

"When I look back on my journey, I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunities I've been given during my time at Pennine Care. Each role has helped me grow and has shown that there are so many opportunities to build a rewarding career here."

Creating opportunities for colleagues to develop and progress is part of our big ambition to be a 'great place to work'.

Nicola joined Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust in 2015, taking the next step in her career by starting the student nursing associate apprenticeship in 2019.

She has since progressed from a nursing associate role in Oldham's early intervention service to supporting apprentices as a student nursing associate facilitator.

Nicola then completed a chartered management degree apprenticeship programme which helped build her confidence and leadership skills, leading to her current role as our apprenticeship team leader 🙌

Claudette Elliott, our chair, is part of a new campaign to support people interested in becoming a non-executive director (NED) in the NHS.

Non-exec directors bring independent judgement and perspectives to the board of directors. They help to make decisions, using their experiences and expertise to challenge and influence.

The NHS has set up a new talent pool for anyone looking to become a non-exec director for the first time.

This is a brilliant opportunity for anyone with senior-level experience of setting strategy, managing significant budgets and workforce, leading transformation and improvements.
