Care Home roles in Taunton
If you want care home work in Taunton, on days, nights or weekends, Protocol Healthcare Services can put you in front of the settings that are hiring. We recruit across the whole team, from Healthcare Assistants through to Registered Nurses.
Working around Taunton
Musgrove Park Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Rowbarton and Priorswood, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Somerset Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Rowbarton, Priorswood, Bishop's Hull and Trull and out towards Comeytrowe, Galmington and Wilton. Work extends across Somerset.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Medication support appropriate to your role and training

Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Priorswood is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
