All Here for Our Communities - All Here For You
District Nursing at Manchester and Trafford Local Care Organisations (LCOs) offers a rewarding, diverse and deeply meaningful career. Our teams deliver high‑quality care in the heart of our communities – helping people stay well at home, recover with confidence, and live with dignity and independence.
Care That Makes a Difference
Our teams provide everything from short-term treatments and wound care to supporting people with complex long‑term conditions and delivering compassionate end‑of‑life care.
We also empower patients to manage their own health wherever possible and offer treatment room services within community clinics for those able to attend.

You’ll be part of a skilled and supportive multidisciplinary team that may include:
Team Leaders
