Care Home roles in Bury St Edmunds
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for nursing and residential homes in and around Bury St Edmunds, covering everything from a single shift to a permanent contract. We place Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, senior carers and support staff.
Working around Bury St Edmunds
Work comes up near Moreton Hall, Northgate and Southgate, much of it within reach of West Suffolk Hospital. Between West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust and Suffolk County Council, most of what we staff around Westgate sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Moreton Hall, Northgate and Southgate one week, Westgate, Fornham and Great Barton the next. If you are based around IP28 or IP33, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Supporting residents at mealtimes and with nutrition
Shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Great Barton is easier for you to reach than Horringer, say so and the rota follows it. Once you are established we keep the work regular rather than sporadic, usually in the same two or three services around Horringer.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Moreton Hall and Westgate first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What you will need
- ✓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
How we work with you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Suffolk shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Bury St Edmunds itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Ipswich, Cambridge and Colchester as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Bury St Edmunds.
