Visits are an hour, not fifteen minutes
You will not be sprinting between calls apologising for being late. Having enough time helps you provide thoughtful care without feeling constantly rushed.
Work with us
Care work, with time to care properly
Care work can be demanding, but you should never feel that you are doing it alone. We plan sensible local rounds, allow at least an hour for visits and help carers build genuine relationships with the people they support.
Why here
Six things that make this job different
Most care recruitment adverts are identical. These are the specific things we do, which you can check with anyone who works here.
Travel time is part of the round
We build rounds geographically so you are not crossing the borough between two calls, and we do not pretend a journey takes no time.
You get the same clients
Continuity is better for them and better for you. Knowing someone properly is most of what makes this job worth doing.
Training is paid and it is real
Full induction before you work alone, the Care Certificate, and condition-specific training on the people you actually support.
The office knows your name
We are a close, approachable team. When you need advice, you can speak to someone who knows you, understands your round and will help you resolve the problem.
Safe workloads come first
We only accept care packages when we are confident that we have the right people and capacity to provide them safely and consistently.
Roles
What we recruit for
We hire across Trafford, Manchester, Stockport, Cheshire East, Warrington. You do not need experience for every role — you do need to be reliable and to actually like people.
Care assistant
Visiting care across a local round — personal care, medication, meals and companionship. Full and part time, plus weekend-only.
Live-in carer
Placements of one to several weeks, with your own room and proper breaks built into the rota.
Support worker
Supporting people with learning disabilities or autism to make choices, develop skills and live as independently as possible. Shifts may include days, evenings, weekends and sleep-ins.
Complex care assistant
Supporting people with individually assessed health needs, which may include PEG feeding, catheter or stoma care and epilepsy support. You will receive person-specific training and must be assessed as competent before providing clinical support.
Night carer
Sleeping and waking nights. Regular shifts, not ad hoc, so you can plan a life around them.
Care coordinator
Office-based, building rotas, matching carers and answering the phone. Previous care experience is particularly valuable because the role involves building safe rotas, matching carers and responding calmly when plans change.

Questions
What carers ask us before applying
If yours is not here, email recruitment@truecare247.co.uk and ask.
Do I need previous care experience?
Not always. Reliability, kindness and a willingness to learn are important. We provide training before you work independently.
Do I need to drive?
A driving licence and access to a car are normally needed for visiting-care rounds. Some other roles may not require driving.
Do you pay for travel time and mileage?
This depends on the role and round. We will explain the current travel-time and mileage arrangements before you apply.
Will I receive regular hours?
We will try to offer regular hours that suit your availability. This will depend on the role, your location and the needs of the people we support. We will always be honest about the hours available before you accept the role.
Who pays for the DBS check?
We arrange and pay for the required enhanced DBS check.
Will I work with the same people?
We aim to provide consistent rounds and familiar carers wherever possible.
Can I work only at weekends or during nights?
Weekend-only and night roles may be available, depending on current local needs.
Do you offer sponsorship?
We are currently applying for a Skilled Worker sponsor licence. Unfortunately, we cannot offer sponsorship until this process is completed. We will update this page if sponsorship becomes available.
When will I hear back?
We review every enquiry carefully and will contact you as soon as we can. Response times may vary depending on the number of applications we receive.
