Care Home roles in Harrow
Care home work in Harrow 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.
Working around Harrow
Northwick Park Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Harrow-on-the-Hill and North Harrow draw staff from the same pool. London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust runs services locally, with Harrow Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Harrow-on-the-Hill, Wealdstone and North Harrow, with regular work further out at South Harrow, West Harrow and Rayners Lane. Postings run through HA1, HA2 and HA3, including out at Harrow Weald.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
Shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering West Harrow on earlies and Rayners Lane on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Kenton.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around North Harrow to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
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

Pinner, Stanmore and Wembley are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Harrow both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Harrow-on-the-Hill, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
