Care Home roles in Islington
If you want care home work in Islington, 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 the work is in Islington
Whittington Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Angel and Highbury, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Islington Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Whittington Health NHS Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Angel, Highbury, Canonbury and Barnsbury and out towards Holloway, Tufnell Park and Archway. N1, N5, N7 and N19 come up most often, and work extends through London.

When you would work

Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Highbury is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
