We Find Places For People That Care in Wigan

Wigan is a busy patch of residential, nursing and EMI homes, with learning disability services, supported living and children's services spread through Leigh, Atherton and the smaller towns. The Southport team covers Wigan, and a couple of named people handle it so services deal with someone who knows their home.

Getting to shifts around Wigan

Wigan Wallgate is on the direct line between Southport and Manchester, Wigan North Western is on the West Coast Main Line, and buses run across the borough to Leigh, Atherton, Standish and Ashton. Most Wigan shifts do not need a car. Skelmersdale, Billinge and the villages are easier with one, and the team will only offer you shifts you can realistically get to.

The services we staff around Wigan

Different settings need different people, and the Southport team books to the service, not just to the shift.

Residential & nursing homes · Dementia & EMI care · Mental health · Learning disabilities · Supported living · Domiciliary care · Children's services · Education

We also place chefs and kitchen staff and domestic and housekeeping staff into the same services, because a care home does not run on carers alone.
