Care Home roles in Motherwell
Care home work in Motherwell 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 Motherwell
University Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Motherwell Town Centre and Forgewood draw staff from the same pool. North Lanarkshire Council runs services locally.
Most placements are in Motherwell Town Centre, Craigneuk and Forgewood, with regular work further out at Muirhouse, Flemington and Ladywell. Postings run through ML1, including out at Jerviston.
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 Flemington on earlies and Ladywell on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Motherwell Town Centre and Netherton.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Forgewood to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What you will need
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓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
