Care Home roles in Milton Keynes
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for nursing and residential homes in and around Milton Keynes, covering everything from a single shift to a permanent contract. We place Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, senior carers and support staff.
Where the work is in Milton Keynes
Work comes up near Central Milton Keynes, Bletchley and Wolverton, much of it within reach of Milton Keynes University Hospital. Between Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Milton Keynes City Council, most of what we staff around Stony Stratford sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Central Milton Keynes, Bletchley and Wolverton one week, Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell and Fenny Stratford the next. If you are based around MK9 or MK9, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Supporting residents at mealtimes and with nutrition
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Fenny Stratford is easier for you to reach than Woburn Sands, say so and the rota follows it. Once you are established we keep the work regular rather than sporadic, usually in the same two or three services around Woburn Sands.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Central Milton Keynes and Stony Stratford first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓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
Working with Protocol
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Buckinghamshire shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Milton Keynes itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Bedford, Northampton and Aylesbury as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Milton Keynes.
