Care Home roles in Basildon
If you want care home work in Basildon, on days, nights or weekends, Protocol Healthcare Services can put you in front of the settings that are hiring. We recruit across the whole team, from Healthcare Assistants through to Registered Nurses.
Basildon and the area we cover
Basildon University Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Laindon and Vange, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Essex County Council commissions much of the care in the area, and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Laindon, Vange, Pitsea and Wickford and out towards Billericay, Fryerns and Chalvedon. SS13, SS14, SS15 and SS16 come up most often, and work extends through Essex.
What you would be doing
- ✓ Supporting residents at mealtimes and with nutrition
- ✓ Mobility support and safe moving and handling
- ✓ 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
Shifts, and how they are booked
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Billericay work three or four shifts and keep the rest of the week their own. Most people settle into a handful of regular services, often within a few miles of Pitsea.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Vange is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What we look 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

We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Basildon itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Work in Southend-on-Sea and Chelmsford often suits the same people, so tell us how far you are willing to go.
