Trusted care and staffing across Scarborough
Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers along the Scarborough coast and across North Yorkshire. 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.
We should be clear about where we are based. Our offices are in the South of England, in Edgware and Bournemouth, so we do not run a branch in Scarborough. What we do offer is national reach. As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency we coordinate home care and place vetted professionals in Scarborough 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 Scarborough
Scarborough is North Yorkshire's largest seaside town, a place shaped by its twin bays, the harbour and the headland that carries Scarborough Castle above the North Sea. Its residents live across distinctive communities, from the town centre streets behind South Bay to suburbs such as Falsgrave, Newby, Scalby, Eastfield, Osgodby, Barrowcliff, Northstead and Seamer. Care needs vary just as much across the town, from busy central neighbourhoods to the quieter villages inland, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.
The town is served mainly by the YO11, YO12 and YO13 postcodes, with YO11 covering the seafront and town centre, YO12 reaching north through Newby and Scalby, and YO13 stretching south towards Osgodby, Eastfield and Cayton. Wherever a family is based across these areas, we can talk through the type of care that fits and how soon it can begin.
We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Scarborough Hospital, the main hospital serving the coast and part of York and Scarborough 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 to keep a discharge from hospital as smooth as possible.
Adult social care in the town is overseen by North Yorkshire Council, the unitary authority that took on these responsibilities across the county. 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.
