Bury Council Adult Care Services stepped out from Bury Council at the end of September 2015 and 371 staff were transferred on TUPE arrangements to Persona. Senior Managers set up Persona Care and Support Ltd in October 2015 as a Local Authority Trading Company (LATCo).
In addition Persona has contracts in place and a number of premises leases to continue to deliver care and support to existing and future customers. The organisation supports vulnerable customers to live as independent as possible in a variety of settings that include support in the community for customers with a learning disability, older people, people with Physical and mental health disabilities, and people with complex health needs.
Some of the services are regulated with the Care Quality Commission. Persona has a board of Directors made up of the following, and a full back office team to support operations.
