The Northern Care Alliance was formed by bringing together four local hospitals and their associated community services under a group arrangement. The sheer size, scale and potential of our combined service is huge. Together, we’ve a wealth of skills and resources to share and tap into. And, a wide range of career paths for you to develop and explore.
By bringing together our hospital, community and health and social care services, we’ve created individual Care Organisations which deliver high-quality, local care across Greater Manchester, from multiple hospital sites. That’s almost 20,000 NHS experts, caring for more than 1.3 million people in the local community as well as from across the UK and Europe.
