Care Home roles in Southport
Care home work in Southport 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.
Where you would be based in Southport
Formby District General Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Birkdale and Churchtown draw staff from the same pool. West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust runs services locally, with Sefton Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Birkdale, Ainsdale and Churchtown, with regular work further out at Hillside, Marshside and Kew. Postings run through PR8 and PR9, including out at Crossens.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
Hours, shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Marshside on earlies and Kew on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Birkdale and High Park.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Churchtown to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Who we are looking for
- ✓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
- ✓NMC registration if you are applying for a Registered Nurse post
Why people stay with us
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Merseyside services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Southport itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Blackpool, Bootle and Preston are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Southport both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Birkdale, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
