Our Team
At Manchester Local Care Organisation we have a team of around 3,400 staff working with us from across community health and adult social care.
Our leadership team oversee the work of the organisation and is responsible for the long term development of community based care in the city. They have a wealth of experience of managing services in Manchester and beyond that they bring to MLCO. The team also provide these roles across Trafford Local Care Organisation as part of the joint leadership arrangements across both LCOs. The exception to this is the Director of Adult Social Services role which is linked to the local authority area of Manchester only. The leadership team are supported by a small corporate team who lead on our various pieces of work.
