About the Role
This role isn’t just about following procedures—it’s about bringing professional care into real lives. As a Nursing Associate in the Community, you’ll care for people in their homes across Oldham.

You’ll be hands-on and heart-first. That means assessing risks, planning care, and delivering meaningful interventions that help people stay independent, safe, and well at home. And you won’t be alone. With a full induction, ongoing support, and specialist training, you’ll grow into the work with confidence.
This is one of those UK job opportunities where you make a real-world difference and build deep skills that matter. Ready to find a job that works for you and with you?
