Welcome to our website

Bury EST is a supported employment agency run by Bury MBC.  We aim to work in partnership with employers, individuals and organisations to create a socially inclusive and diverse workforce.  We provide a recruitment service for Bury residents who find it difficult to get or keep a job because of various factors such as disability, age or ethnicity.  We also offer advice, support and practical assistance to local and regional employers who aim to diversify their workforce and offer equal opportunity recruitment.

Workwise

We are now offering a prevocational service for recovering drug users. We can offer advice and guidance, access to education and training and workplace learning through work experience and job tasters. More...
