The Burnside Centre offers advice, guidance, sign-posting and support to local people and is staffed by a  highly qualified, experienced and dedicated staff team. Open all year round, the Burnside Centre prides itself on moving people forward and giving them the skills and knowledge to do so.

The GM Good Employment Charter is an initiative of Metro Mayor Andy Burnham to bring fair, transparent and good employment to everyone in Greater Manchester.

Centre manager Kerry Edwards said: “Burnside Centre is committed to best practice and investment in people. That journey starts with our staff members who we invest in as a priority so that their talents can thrive. This scheme aims to create a positive impact by promoting crucial aspects of good employment practices which support the needs of our local workforce, including secure employment, meaningful inclusivity and equality, flexible working arrangements. All of this then benefits the wider society by embedding good employment practices, that are accessible to everyone.” 

Following on from the success of becoming Members of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter; Burnside’s Manager Kerry had the pleasure of being invited onto the GM Good Employment Podcast. You can listen to the podcast here.
