NuvoCare is a social care provider offering home care services in Rochdale. We provide personalised care to people in their own homes, supporting them to live safely, independently, and with dignity.

We believe care should feel HUMAN: warm, respectful, professional, and unhurried. The kind of care you would want for the people you love.

We also believe our team deserves the same:

• To be valued
• To be listened to
• To have a voice
• To feel proud of the work they do

If that sounds like the kind of place you want to be, you’ll feel at home here.

• Prepare or reheat meals, make drinks, and offer day‑to‑day support
• Maintain a safe and tidy home environment
• Offer companionship, reassurance, and meaningful conversation
• Assist people to health appointments or shopping

Keep professional and accurate records and report any changes in wellbeing. We don’t rush. We focus on quality, not speed.

You do need:

• A caring, patient, and reliable nature
• Good communication skills
