Working around Ferndown
Work comes up near Ferndown Town Centre, West Parley and Longham, much of it within reach of Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Between University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust and Dorset Council, most of what we staff around West Moors sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Ferndown Town Centre, West Parley and Longham one week, West Moors, Trickett's Cross and Dudsbury the next. If you are based around BH22 or BH22, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
Shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Dudsbury is easier for you to reach than Stapehill, 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 Stapehill.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Ferndown Town Centre and West Moors first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What you will need
- ✓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
How we work with you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Dorset shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Ferndown itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Wimborne, Verwood and Ringwood as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Ferndown.
