About Northern Healthcare
We support people in their own homes across Salford and Manchester. Those we work with include older adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people living with sight or hearing loss, younger adults, and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug use. That breadth means attitude matters as much as competence. Several of the people we work with have had experiences of being judged rather than helped, and a carer who arrives with opinions about how somebody came to need support is of no use to them at all. We recruit and train with that firmly in mind, and we supervise properly rather than hoping for the best. Our starting point is a proper conversation about what the person wants changed and what they would rather we left alone. Plans are agreed rather than issued, and we revisit them when circumstances shift, which they often do. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather state that plainly. Until then we are happy to be asked how we recruit, train and supervise our staff, and to be judged on what the people we already support say about us.
