Care Home roles in Eastbourne
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for nursing and residential homes in and around Eastbourne, covering everything from a single shift to a permanent contract. We place Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, senior carers and support staff.
Where you would be based in Eastbourne
Work comes up near Meads, Old Town and Ratton, much of it within reach of Eastbourne District General Hospital. Between East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust and East Sussex County Council, most of what we staff around Willingdon sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Meads, Old Town and Ratton one week, Willingdon, Hampden Park and Langney the next. East Sussex is well within the area we cover.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Medication support appropriate to your role and training
- ✓ Activities, companionship and keeping families informed
Hours, shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Langney is easier for you to reach than Sovereign Harbour, 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 Sovereign Harbour.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Meads and Willingdon first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Who we are looking 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
Why people stay with us
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your East Sussex shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Eastbourne itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Hastings, Brighton and Hove and Royal Tunbridge Wells as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Eastbourne.
