Healthcare Assistant roles in Cumbernauld
Healthcare Assistant work in Cumbernauld 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 Cumbernauld
University Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Carbrain and Seafar draw staff from the same pool. North Lanarkshire Council runs services locally.
Most placements are in Carbrain, Kildrum and Seafar, with regular work further out at Ravenswood, Abronhill and Condorrat. Postings run through G67 and G68, including out at Cumbernauld Village.
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 Abronhill on earlies and Condorrat on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Carbrain and Greenfaulds.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Seafar to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
