Care Home roles in Guildford
If you want care home work in Guildford, on days, nights or weekends, Protocol Healthcare Services can put you in front of the settings that are hiring. We recruit across the whole team, from Healthcare Assistants through to Registered Nurses.
Where you would be based in Guildford
The Royal Surrey County Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Stoughton and Onslow Village, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Surrey County Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Stoughton, Onslow Village, Merrow and Burpham and out towards Shalford, Bellfields and Park Barn. GU1 and GU2 come up most often, and work extends through Surrey.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Personal care, washing, dressing and continence support
Hours, shifts and contracts
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Shalford work three or four shifts and keep the rest of the week their own. Most people settle into a handful of regular services, often within a few miles of Merrow.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Onslow Village is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
Who we are looking for
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
