Care Home roles in Barnet
Care home work in Barnet suits people who want to know the people they look after rather than meet someone new every day. Protocol Healthcare Services fills shifts and permanent posts in nursing and residential settings, for nurses and for care staff alike.
Where you would be based in Barnet
Barnet Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around High Barnet and New Barnet draw staff from the same pool. Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally.
Most placements are in High Barnet, Chipping Barnet and New Barnet, with regular work further out at East Barnet, Arkley and Whetstone. Postings run through EN5 and N20, including out at Monken Hadley.
What the role involves
- ✓ Medication support appropriate to your role and training
- ✓ Activities, companionship and keeping families informed
- ✓ Clear record keeping and handover between shifts
- ✓ Personal care, washing, dressing and continence support
- ✓ Supporting residents at mealtimes and with nutrition
- ✓ Mobility support and safe moving and handling
Hours, shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Arkley on earlies and Whetstone on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between High Barnet and Totteridge.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around New Barnet to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Who we are looking for
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Reliability and a genuinely person-centred approach
- ✓NMC registration if you are applying for a Registered Nurse post
- ✓Previous care home experience is helpful but not always required
