Care Home roles in Lincoln
Care home work in Lincoln 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 Lincoln
Lincoln County Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Bailgate and Birchwood draw staff from the same pool. United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust runs services locally, with Lincolnshire County Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Bailgate, Ermine and Birchwood, with regular work further out at Boultham, Hartsholme and Carholme. Postings run through LN1, LN2 and LN4, including out at Downhill.
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 Hartsholme on earlies and Carholme on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Bailgate and Uphill.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Birchwood to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓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
Working with Protocol
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Lincolnshire services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Lincoln itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Newark, Scunthorpe and Mansfield are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Lincoln both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Bailgate, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
