Healthcare Assistant roles in Greenock
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Greenock, 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 Greenock
Work comes up near Town Centre, Cardwell Bay and Fort Matilda, much of it within reach of Inverclyde Royal Hospital. Between Inverclyde, Scotland and Inverclyde Council, most of what we staff around Larkfield sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Town Centre, Cardwell Bay and Fort Matilda one week, Larkfield, Branchton and Gibshill the next. If you are based around PA15 or PA16, 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 Gibshill is easier for you to reach than Bow Farm, 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 Bow Farm.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Town Centre and Larkfield first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
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
How we work with you

If you can travel, there is steady work in Paisley, Glasgow and Kilmarnock as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Greenock.
