Workstep Project

Bury EST is now able to support people with disabilities under the WORKSTEP programme. We have a contract for 30 places as part of a 125 place contract for Greater Manchester being run by a consortium of agencies from Oldham, Wigan, Stockport, and Bury.

WORKSTEP is a nationally funded scheme run by Jobcentre Plus. WORKSTEP encourages progression into open employment and each person going through the scheme will have an individual Development Plan detailing how this is going to be achieved.

We can only take referrals for WORKSTEP through the local Disability Employment Advisors. Currently, this is Julie Connor at Prestwich / Radcliffe jobcentres (0161-912 8800) and John Beech at Bury jobcentre (0161 253 8038). Alternatively, you can contact Lee Salad at Bury EST to arrange an informal chat about the programme and we can forward your details to the jobcentre for approval to join WORKSTEP.
