Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Blackpool

Trusted care and staffing across Blackpool

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers right across Blackpool and the wider Fylde coast. 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.

As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency, our reach extends well beyond our home base in the South of England. We do not run a branch on the Promenade, but we coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Blackpool 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.

Local knowledge across Blackpool

Blackpool is one of the best known seaside towns in the country, home to well over a hundred thousand residents living in distinctive communities such as Bispham, Marton, Layton, Grange Park, South Shore, Squires Gate, Anchorsholme and Norbreck. Care needs vary just as much across the town, from the busy central neighbourhoods around the Tower and the Promenade to the quieter residential streets inland, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Blackpool Victoria Hospital on Whinney Heys Road in the FY3 area, which is run by Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. 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. Wherever you are, from FY1 in the town centre through to FY2, FY3 and FY4 across the wider town, we can put a plan in place quickly.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Blackpool Council, the unitary authority for the area. 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.

Staffing for care providers in Blackpool

Care homes, supported living services, hospitals and community teams across Blackpool rely on dependable staffing, and that is where our staffing side comes in. We supply NMC-registered nurses and midwives, support workers, mental health professionals and learning disability specialists, from a single shift to a fully managed rota and permanent placements. Every professional is vetted to the same high standard, so you get reliable cover without the compliance headache. Our staffing service is genuinely national, so distance from our southern offices is no barrier to filling a shift on the Fylde coast.
