Recruiting in Trafford
Recruiting carers for Trafford: a borough with a busy south
Trafford's care providers cluster in Altrincham and Sale, and both sit on the Metrolink line, which helps when carers commute in from Stretford, Wythenshawe or further into Manchester. Rounds out at Partington, Carrington or the villages towards Warburton are a different matter and need drivers who are happy with longer gaps between calls.
Private PA work is well organised here. Trafford PA Web lets people on direct payments advertise directly to PAs who have registered their preferred areas, so some carers in Hale or Timperley will be weighing a PA role against agency or care home work. Offering steady hours and sensible rounds counts. Carer Badge is a quick way to see who lives along the Altrincham line or just over the Mersey in Sale and Ashton upon Mersey before you build a rota.
Nursing homes compete for nurses with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust at Trafford General and Altrincham Hospital, and with the large Wythenshawe Hospital just across the border.
85% of the inspected care employers in Trafford are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 84% across the North West and in line with England as a whole (85%).

Questions about recruiting in Trafford
Should I recruit from Manchester for a care home in Altrincham?
It is worth it. The Metrolink runs from Altrincham through Sale and Stretford into Manchester, and Wythenshawe is close by, so many carers can reach south Trafford without driving.
How do I cover home care visits in Partington?
Partington sits apart from the rest of the borough, so recruit carers who live nearby or who drive and are happy with the journey. Cadishead and Irlam in Salford are just across the Manchester Ship Canal and worth including.
