Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Cheltenham

Trusted care and staffing across Cheltenham

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Cheltenham and the wider Gloucestershire area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent in their own 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 and we do not run a local office in Cheltenham, but our staffing reach is genuinely national. As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency, we coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham

Cheltenham is an elegant Regency spa town of around 116,000 people, known for its garden squares, the Promenade and landmarks such as the Pittville Pump Room and Cheltenham Racecourse. Its neighbourhoods each have their own character, from the leafy Georgian streets of Montpellier, Lansdown and The Park to the family suburbs of Charlton Kings, Leckhampton, Prestbury, Up Hatherley, Warden Hill, Battledown and Hesters Way. Care needs vary just as much across the town, so we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. We arrange care across the GL50, GL51, GL52 and GL53 postcode districts.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Cheltenham General Hospital, part of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which also runs Gloucestershire Royal Hospital nearby in Gloucester. 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.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Gloucestershire County Council, and care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. 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 Cheltenham

Care homes, supported living services, hospitals and community teams across Cheltenham rely on dependable staffing, and that is where our staffing side comes in. Because our reach is national rather than tied to a single office, we can 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.
