Bolton Employment Support Team (BEST) support people with severe and enduring mental health problems in their recovery process by opening up the world of work through work preparation and placement experience. We are a joint initiative between Bolton Council and Bolton Salford & Trafford Mental Health Partnership that promotes Social Inclusion.


The aim is to make paid work accessible in the longer term so as to increase independence and quality of life. By expanding and developing our links with local employers. BEST helps make inclusion a reality, not just a policy. Most importantly, we offer guidance and support and a development plan that helps the person to understand what they need and how to get it, which may involve training, experience or gaining other specialised assistance.
