Healthcare Assistant roles in Derby
If you are looking for Healthcare Assistant work in Derby, whether that is a few shifts a week around study or family, or a full-time permanent post, Protocol Healthcare Services can help you find it.
Working around Derby
Royal Derby Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Allestree and Mickleover, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Derby City Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Burton NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Allestree, Mickleover, Chaddesden and Littleover and out towards Spondon, Alvaston and Oakwood. DE22, DE3, DE21 and DE23 come up most often, and work extends through East Midlands.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Assisting with mobility and safe moving and handling
- ✓ Taking and recording clinical observations under supervision
Shifts and contracts
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Spondon work three or four shifts and keep the rest of the week their own. Most people settle into a handful of regular services, often within a few miles of Chaddesden.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Mickleover is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.

- ✓The right to work in the UK
