AI automation for care agencies in Manchester.
In Manchester, adult social care is run through Manchester Local Care Organisation, a partnership between Manchester City Council and the NHS. Referrals and reviews can come from integrated teams covering health and care together.
We help agencies keep up with that flow of referrals and changes, so coordinators spend their time on people and the rota.
01
Home care in Manchester.
Manchester City Council
The council remains responsible for adult social care. Its social care staff work within MLCO.
Three big hospitals
Manchester Royal Infirmary, Wythenshawe Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital are all run by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. A discharge from any of them can start a package at short notice.
02
Where we would start.
Three jobs that fit how care works in the city.
Referrals in one place
Referrals and changes that arrive by email, form or portal notification are collected in one list and logged once.
Neighbourhood rounds
Visits are grouped by neighbourhood, from Harpurhey to Chorlton, so cover requests go first to carers already nearby.
Recruitment
Applicants answer a few screening questions, including which parts of the city they can reach, and good matches are offered an interview.

Questions from care agencies in Manchester.
Referrals reach us from different teams. Can you bring them into one place?
Usually, yes. If they arrive by email, portal notification or form, we can gather them in one list and log the details once.
Do you connect directly to NHS or council systems?
Only where you have access and the system allows it. Most of the time we work from what you already receive, such as emails and exports.
Do you travel to Manchester?
Yes. The audit workshop can be at your office or on a video call.
