Care Home roles in Merthyr Tydfil
Care home work in Merthyr Tydfil 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.
Merthyr Tydfil and the area we cover
Prince Charles Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Dowlais and Gurnos draw staff from the same pool. Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board runs services locally, with Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Dowlais, Penydarren and Gurnos, with regular work further out at Cyfarthfa, Cefn Coed and Troedyrhiw. Postings run through CF47 and CF48, including out at Merthyr Vale.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Supporting residents at mealtimes and with nutrition
- ✓ Mobility support and safe moving and handling
Shifts, and how they are booked
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Cefn Coed on earlies and Troedyrhiw on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Dowlais and Aberfan.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Gurnos to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What we look for
- ✓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
- ✓Reliability and a genuinely person-centred approach
