Healthcare Assistant roles in Aldershot
Healthcare Assistant work in Aldershot is one of the most direct ways into a career in care. Protocol Healthcare Services recruits HCAs for temporary and permanent positions, with full training provided and a consultant who knows which settings suit you.
Working around Aldershot
Frimley Park Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around North Town and Cargate draw staff from the same pool. Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Hampshire County Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in North Town, Manor Park and Cargate, with regular work further out at Rowhill, St John's and Aldershot Park. Postings run through GU11 and GU12, including out at West Heath.
A typical shift
- ✓ Helping people wash, dress and stay comfortable
- ✓ Supporting with meals, drinks and nutrition
- ✓ Assisting with mobility and safe moving and handling
- ✓ Taking and recording clinical observations under supervision
- ✓ Companionship, conversation and keeping people connected
- ✓ Reporting changes and keeping clear records
Shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering St John's on earlies and Aldershot Park on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between North Town and Wellington.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Cargate to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What you will need
- ✓A caring, patient and reliable approach
- ✓Good spoken and written communication
- ✓Previous care experience is welcome but not essential, as training is provided
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
How we work with you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Hampshire services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Aldershot itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Guildford, Woking and Bracknell are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Aldershot both.
