An exciting opportunity has arisen in our Age Friendly Delivery Team. Southway is at the forefront of the Age Friendly movement across Greater Manchester. We are extremely excited to complete our Homes With Care schemes in Summer and Autumn 2021 and be in a better position to meet the housing needs of older people in Manchester. We want to create a real sense of community with the opening our schemes by delivering services to benefit the whole neighbourhood.
