Healthcare Assistant roles in Harlow
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Harlow, 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.
Where you would be based in Harlow
Work comes up near Old Harlow, Church Langley and Newhall, much of it within reach of The Princess Alexandra Hospital. Between The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust and Essex County Council, most of what we staff around Potter Street sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Old Harlow, Church Langley and Newhall one week, Potter Street, Great Parndon and Netteswell the next. If you are based around CM17 or CM20, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Companionship, conversation and keeping people connected
Hours, shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Netteswell is easier for you to reach than Mark Hall, 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 Mark Hall.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Old Harlow and Potter Street first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Who we are looking for
- ✓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
- ✓The right to work in the UK
Why people stay with us
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Essex shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Harlow itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Enfield, Waltham Forest and Romford as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Harlow.
