Care Home roles in Harlow
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for nursing and residential homes in and around Harlow, covering everything from a single shift to a permanent contract. We place Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, senior carers and support staff.
Where the work is in Harlow
Work comes up near Old Harlow, Church Langley and Newhall, much of it within reach of The Princess Alexandra Hospital. Between The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust and Essex County Council, most of what we staff around Potter Street sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Old Harlow, Church Langley and Newhall one week, Potter Street, Great Parndon and Netteswell the next. If you are based around CM17 or CM20, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Netteswell is easier for you to reach than Mark Hall, 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 Mark Hall.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Old Harlow and Potter Street first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
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
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Essex shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Harlow itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Enfield, Waltham Forest and Romford as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Harlow.
