Our people are the heart of everything we do
We take our responsibility, to our communities and society, to our workforce, to the economy and to our environment seriously.
Wellbeing
Our people are the heart of everything we do, and we want them to be the best version of themselves and enjoy what they do. That’s why wellbeing is so important to us. We support our team members intellectually, physically, and emotionally.
What we do:
- Through our colleague ‘Keeping In Touch’ we provide helpful hints, tips and resources to support people, from physical to mental wellbeing and support
- We offer a ‘Smart Health’ Service, a virtual healthcare service including a virtual GP service, expert case management, mental health support and tailored fitness programmes
- We fund learning and specialist development opportunities, opportunities for paid professional fees and licences
- We offer a range of employee benefits to support physical, emotions and financial wellbeing
Our commitment to equality, diversity and dignity
At Bolton Cares, one of our core THRIVE values is ‘Respect and dignity’.
We treat all people; colleagues, people we support and the wider community as equals with understanding and compassion.
Our values are at the foundation of everything we do at Bolton Cares. Our recruitment policy, as well as our policies relating to dignity in care, equality, diversity and equal opportunities are all informed by our ethos.
We celebrate our diverse workforce, the multicultural communities we live in and diversity of the people we support. We ensure that people’s differences are valued and used to enable everyone to THRIVE.

Our environment
As a responsible business, we always think about how we can look after the planet, protect our environment and reduce carbon footprint.
We are gradually becoming a paperless organisation.
