Healthcare Assistant roles in Ilford
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Ilford, 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 the work is in Ilford
Work comes up near Ilford Town Centre, Goodmayes and Seven Kings, much of it within reach of Queen's Hospital. Between Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust and Redbridge Council, most of what we staff around Newbury Park sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Ilford Town Centre, Goodmayes and Seven Kings one week, Newbury Park, Gants Hill and Barkingside the next. If you are based around IG1 or IG5, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Barkingside is easier for you to reach than Clayhall, 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 Clayhall.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Ilford Town Centre and Newbury Park first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓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
Working with Protocol
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your London shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Ilford itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Barking, Newham and Waltham Forest as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Ilford.
Tell us which parts of London you can reach and we will match you to what is open. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
