Care Home roles in Hastings
Care home work in Hastings 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.
Where the work is in Hastings
Conquest Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Old Town and Ore draw staff from the same pool. East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust runs services locally, with East Sussex County Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Old Town, St Leonards-on-Sea and Ore, with regular work further out at Hollington, Silverhill and Bohemia. Postings run through TN34, TN35 and TN37, including out at West Hill.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Silverhill on earlies and Bohemia on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Old Town and Clive Vale.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Ore to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Reliability and a genuinely person-centred approach
Working with Protocol
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which East Sussex services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Hastings itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Eastbourne, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Hastings both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Old Town, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
