Care Home roles in Norwich
Care home work in Norwich 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.
Norwich and the area we cover
Norwich University Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Eaton and Thorpe Hamlet draw staff from the same pool. Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Norfolk County Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Eaton, Lakenham and Thorpe Hamlet, with regular work further out at Heartsease, Hellesdon and Old Catton. Postings run through NR1 and NR8, including out at Thorpe St Andrew.
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 Hellesdon on earlies and Old Catton on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Eaton and Sprowston.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Thorpe Hamlet to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What we look for
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓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
What we do for you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Norfolk services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Norwich itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Great Yarmouth, Bury St Edmunds and King's Lynn are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Norwich both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Eaton, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
