Care Home roles in Leicester
If you want care home work in Leicester, 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.
Leicester and the area we cover
Leicester Royal Infirmary anchors a good deal of the health provision around Belgrave and Clarendon Park, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Leicester City Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Leicester NHS Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Belgrave, Clarendon Park, Knighton and Evington and out towards Aylestone, Braunstone and Beaumont Leys. LE2 and LE1 come up most often, and work extends through East Midlands.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Personal care, washing, dressing and continence support
Shifts, and how they are booked
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Aylestone 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 Knighton.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Clarendon Park is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What we look for
- ✓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
- ✓The right to work in the UK
What we do for you
One consultant looks after you, knows the difference between the services in Belgrave and Aylestone, and is reachable when a shift throws something up. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Leicester itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Work in Loughborough and Nuneaton often suits the same people, so tell us how far you are willing to go.
