We are proud of the consistent feedback from the teams that shows working in Oldham is different from their experience working in other areas. What sets Oldham apart is the great working relationships within the teams and wider mental health teams in the Borough, fantastic peer support, with staff members having a wealth of knowledge and experience. The managers are proactive at providing advice and guidance where required, with an open-door policy in place. As managers we like to encourage professional autonomy through assisting the development of practitioners’ skills and talents, using a reflective approach, while also providing a more nurturing approach where needed.
