Care Home roles in Doncaster
Care home work in Doncaster 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 Doncaster
Doncaster Royal Infirmary is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Balby and Bessacarr draw staff from the same pool. Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Doncaster Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Balby, Bentley and Bessacarr, with regular work further out at Wheatley, Hyde Park and Armthorpe. Postings run through DN1 and DN12, including out at Cantley.
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 Hyde Park on earlies and Armthorpe on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Balby and Sprotbrough.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Bessacarr to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓NMC registration if you are applying for a Registered Nurse post
Working with Protocol
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which South 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 Doncaster itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Rotherham, Pontefract and Barnsley are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Doncaster both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Balby, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
