Healthcare Assistant roles in Aylesbury
Healthcare Assistant work in Aylesbury 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 Aylesbury
Stoke Mandeville Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Bedgrove and Watermead draw staff from the same pool. Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust runs services locally, with Buckinghamshire Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Bedgrove, Fairford Leys and Watermead, with regular work further out at Berryfields, Elmhurst and Southcourt. Postings run across Buckinghamshire.
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 Elmhurst on earlies and Southcourt on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Bedgrove and Walton Court.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Watermead to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What you will need
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓A caring, patient and reliable approach
- ✓Good spoken and written communication
- ✓Previous care experience is welcome but not essential, as training is provided
How we work with you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Buckinghamshire services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Aylesbury itself, which we would rather say plainly.
High Wycombe, Milton Keynes and Luton are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Aylesbury both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Bedgrove, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
