Healthcare Assistant roles in Barnsley
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Barnsley, on agency shifts and in permanent roles. You do not need years of experience to start: what matters most is reliability, patience and a genuine interest in the people you look after.
Working around Barnsley
Work comes up near Wombwell, Hoyland and Penistone, much of it within reach of Barnsley Hospital. Between Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, most of what we staff around Cudworth sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Wombwell, Hoyland and Penistone one week, Cudworth, Royston and Darton the next. If you are based around S70 or S71, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Helping people wash, dress and stay comfortable
- ✓ Supporting with meals, drinks and nutrition
Shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Darton is easier for you to reach than Dodworth, say so and the rota follows it. Once you are established we keep the work regular rather than sporadic, usually in the same two or three services around Dodworth.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Wombwell and Cudworth first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What you will need
- ✓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
- ✓A caring, patient and reliable approach
How we work with you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your South Yorkshire shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Barnsley itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Wakefield, Rotherham and Dewsbury as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Barnsley.
Tell us which parts of South Yorkshire you can reach and we will match you to what is open. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
