Healthcare Assistant roles in Chichester
Healthcare Assistant work in Chichester 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.
Where the work is in Chichester
St Richard's Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Summersdale and Fishbourne draw staff from the same pool. University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with West Sussex County Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Summersdale, Whyke and Fishbourne, with regular work further out at Parklands, Bosham and Graylingwell. Postings run through PO19, PO18 and PO20, including out at Lavant.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Bosham on earlies and Graylingwell on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Summersdale and West Broyle.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Fishbourne to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓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

Portsmouth, Worthing and Southampton are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Chichester both.
