About us

Bury is making significant investment to improve the capacity and capability of intermediate care and related services under the leadership of the Bury Local Care Organisation [LCO].

The Bury LCO consists of the seven main health and social care providers in Bury (BARDOC, Bury Council, Bury GP Federation, the Northern Care Alliance, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and Persona) and the Voluntary, Community and Faith Alliance [VCFA].

The LCO is working with local Commissioners to deliver the integration and transformation of local health and care services as part of Bury's Locality Plan. This includes plans to enable more people to have their health and social care needs met at home and in the community and avoid unnecessary hospital or care home admission.

• Introduce home-based care into Bury's intermediate care offer;
• Create additional enhanced Intermediate Care [IMC] beds through the dual registration of Killelea House;
• Develop a multi-disciplinary Rapid Community Response

Staff will be expected to work flexibly across the tier of services which includes:

• Bury Rapid Community response Service
• Killelea House (enhanced and residential IMC)
