About us
Wigan Council has been voted ‘Overall Council of the Year’ at the APSE Awards. We are signed up to the Greater Manchester Continuous Service Commitment ensuring that your service will be continuous or ‘unbroken’ between the supporting organisations.
The Progress with Unity plan is a place movement for change for the next decade, bringing a new era for Wigan Borough. It draws on the strengths of our individual organisations, recognising that together we can achieve more for our communities by delivering on our two‑place missions; create fair opportunities for all children, families, residents and businesses and make our towns and neighbourhoods flourish for those who live and work in them.
We are a caring council and committed to supporting adults who have been medically optimised in a hospital and to supporting adults to reach the full potential. We will provide you with a full induction and ongoing training in order to meet our high standards and service needs.
We offer flexible working patterns when the service can accommodate this. We also take a blended approach to where we work, depending on the work we do; this may include working from home, the office, or the community.
