Care Home roles in Blackpool
Care home work in Blackpool 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 the work is in Blackpool
Blackpool Victoria Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Bispham and Layton draw staff from the same pool. Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Blackpool Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Bispham, Marton and Layton, with regular work further out at Grange Park, South Shore and Squires Gate. Postings run through FY1, FY4 and FY3, including out at Norbreck.
The job day to day
- ✓ Personal care, washing, dressing and continence support
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering South Shore on earlies and Squires Gate on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Bispham and Anchorsholme.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Layton to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
Working with Protocol
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Lancashire services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Blackpool itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Southport, Preston and Lancaster are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Blackpool both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Bispham, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
