Care Home roles in Kirkcaldy
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for nursing and residential homes in and around Kirkcaldy, covering everything from a single shift to a permanent contract. We place Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, senior carers and support staff.
Kirkcaldy and the area we cover
Work comes up near Templehall, Dysart and Sinclairtown, much of it within reach of Victoria Hospital. Between Fife and Fife Council, most of what we staff around Pathhead sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Templehall, Dysart and Sinclairtown one week, Pathhead, Gallatown and Linktown the next. If you are based around KY1 or KY2, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
What you would be doing
- ✓ Clear record keeping and handover between shifts
- ✓ 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
Shifts, and how they are booked
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Linktown is easier for you to reach than Bennochy, 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 Bennochy.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Templehall and Pathhead first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What we look for
- ✓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
- ✓Previous care home experience is helpful but not always required
What we do for you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Fife shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Kirkcaldy itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Edinburgh, Dunfermline and Livingston as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Kirkcaldy.
Tell us which parts of Fife you can reach and we will match you to what is open. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
