The Trafford Local Care Organisation 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 Trafford and beyond that they bring to TLCO. The team also provide these roles across Manchester 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 Trafford only. The leadership team are supported by a small but dedicated corporate team who lead on our various pieces of work.
