Care Home roles in Derby
Care home work in Derby 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.
Derby and the area we cover
Royal Derby Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Allestree and Chaddesden draw staff from the same pool. Burton NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Derby City Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Allestree, Mickleover and Chaddesden, with regular work further out at Littleover, Spondon and Alvaston. Postings run through DE22, DE3 and DE21, including out at Normanton.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
Shifts, and how they are booked
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Spondon on earlies and Alvaston on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Allestree and Oakwood.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Chaddesden to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
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
What we do for you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which East Midlands services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Derby itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Nottingham, Loughborough and Mansfield are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Derby both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Allestree, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
