Trusted care and staffing across Stockport

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers right across Stockport and the wider Greater Manchester area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

Our base is in the South of England, in Edgware and Bournemouth, but as an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency our reach is genuinely national. We coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Stockport the same way we do everywhere we work, with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock. We do not run a branch in Stockport, so everything is arranged and managed centrally by our team.

Local knowledge across Stockport

Stockport sits at the southern edge of Greater Manchester, where the town centre and its landmark Stockport Viaduct rise above the Mersey valley. It is a borough of contrasts, from the terraced streets of Edgeley and Reddish to the greener suburbs of Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Marple, and care needs shift just as much from one neighbourhood to the next. We tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service, whether that is a daily call in Heaton Moor or live-in support out towards Romiley.

The borough is covered by the SK postcodes, running from SK1 to SK5 around the town centre and Reddish, out to SK6 for Marple and Bredbury, SK7 for Bramhall and Hazel Grove and SK8 for Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme. Knowing the area helps us plan visits sensibly and get carers to people on time, even where the hillier lanes towards the Peak District edge can make journeys longer than the map suggests.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Stepping Hill Hospital in Hazel Grove, which is part of Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and treats around half a million patients a year. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams to keep recovery on track.

Adult social care in the borough is overseen by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
