Healthcare Assistant roles in Finchley
Healthcare Assistant work in Finchley 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.
Working around Finchley
Barnet Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Finchley Central and North Finchley draw staff from the same pool. Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Barnet Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Finchley Central, Church End and North Finchley, with regular work further out at East Finchley, West Finchley and Woodside Park. Postings run through N2, N3 and N12, including out at Tally Ho Corner.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
Shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering West Finchley on earlies and Woodside Park on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Finchley Central and Fallow Corner.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around North Finchley to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
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
