Care Home roles in Lambeth
If you want care home work in Lambeth, 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 Lambeth
St Thomas' Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Brixton and Streatham, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Lambeth Council commissions much of the care in the area, and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Brixton, Streatham, Clapham and Kennington and out towards Vauxhall, Stockwell and West Norwood. SW2, SW4, SW8 and SW9 come up most often, and work extends through London.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Mobility support and safe moving and handling
- ✓ Medication support appropriate to your role and training
When you would work
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Vauxhall work three or four shifts and keep the rest of the week their own. Most people settle into a handful of regular services, often within a few miles of Clapham.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Streatham is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
