Healthcare Assistant roles in Bolton
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Bolton, 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 Bolton
Work comes up near Farnworth, Horwich and Westhoughton, much of it within reach of Royal Bolton Hospital. Between Bolton NHS Foundation Trust and Bolton Council, most of what we staff around Astley Bridge sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Farnworth, Horwich and Westhoughton one week, Astley Bridge, Halliwell and Smithills the next. If you are based around BL1 or BL4, 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 Smithills is easier for you to reach than Breightmet, 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 Breightmet.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Farnworth and Astley Bridge first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
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
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Greater Manchester shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Bolton itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Salford, Wigan and Manchester as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Bolton.
Tell us which parts of Greater Manchester 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.
