Care Home roles in Cheltenham
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for nursing and residential homes in and around Cheltenham, covering everything from a single shift to a permanent contract. We place Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, senior carers and support staff.
Where the work is in Cheltenham
Work comes up near Montpellier, Pittville and Charlton Kings, much of it within reach of Cheltenham General Hospital. Between Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Gloucestershire County Council, most of what we staff around Leckhampton sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Montpellier, Pittville and Charlton Kings one week, Leckhampton, Prestbury and Lansdown the next. If you are based around GL50 or GL51, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Lansdown is easier for you to reach than The Park, 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 The Park.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Montpellier and Leckhampton first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓The right to work in the UK
Working with Protocol
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Gloucestershire shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Cheltenham itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Gloucester, Worcester and Swindon as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Cheltenham.
Tell us which parts of Gloucestershire you can reach and we will match you to what is open. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
