Care Home roles in Merton
Care home work in Merton 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.
Working around Merton
St George's Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park draw staff from the same pool. St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Merton Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park, with regular work further out at South Wimbledon, Raynes Park and Merton Park. Postings run through SW19, SW20 and CR4, including out at Mitcham.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
Shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Raynes Park on earlies and Merton Park on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Wimbledon and Colliers Wood.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Wimbledon Park to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What you will need
- ✓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
How we work with you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which London services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Merton itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Wandsworth, Sutton and Kingston upon Thames are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Merton both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Wimbledon, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
