Care Home roles in Dewsbury
Care home work in Dewsbury 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 Dewsbury
District Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Batley and Thornhill draw staff from the same pool. Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust runs services locally, with Kirklees Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Batley, Savile Town and Thornhill, with regular work further out at Ravensthorpe, Earlsheaton and Chickenley. Postings run through WF12, WF13 and WF16, including out at Hanging Heaton.
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 Earlsheaton on earlies and Chickenley on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Batley and Dewsbury Moor.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Thornhill to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓Reliability and a genuinely person-centred approach
Working with Protocol
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which West Yorkshire services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Dewsbury itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Batley, Wakefield and Huddersfield are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Dewsbury both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Batley, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
