Trusted care and staffing across Manchester

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers right across Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency, our reach extends well beyond our home base in the South of England. We coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Manchester the same way we do everywhere we work, with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock. We do not run a branch office in Manchester, but our team manages care and staffing here every day.

Local knowledge across Manchester

Manchester is the heart of the North West, a city of many distinct communities that each have their own character and their own needs. Care looks different in the leafy southern suburbs of Didsbury and Chorlton than it does in the busy city centre neighbourhoods of Ancoats and the Northern Quarter, or in Wythenshawe to the south and Cheetham Hill and Blackley to the north. We tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service, whether a client lives in a terrace in Levenshulme, an apartment near Piccadilly or a family home in Withington.

The city's postcodes stretch from M1 in the city centre out to M20 around Didsbury and Withington, M21 in Chorlton, M14 through Rusholme and Fallowfield, and M22 and M23 across Wythenshawe. Green spaces such as Heaton Park, one of the largest municipal parks in Europe, are part of daily life for many of the older people we support, and getting someone comfortable enough to enjoy a walk again is often one of the small wins that matters most to families.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Manchester Royal Infirmary on Oxford Road or Wythenshawe Hospital in the south of the city, both part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in the city is overseen by Manchester City Council, which works alongside the Manchester Local Care Organisation to deliver community health and social care across the city's neighbourhoods. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
