Healthcare Assistant roles in King's Lynn
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around King's Lynn, 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 King's Lynn
Work comes up near Gaywood, North Lynn and South Lynn, much of it within reach of The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Between The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust and Norfolk County Council, most of what we staff around West Lynn sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Gaywood, North Lynn and South Lynn one week, West Lynn, Fairstead and Springwood the next. If you are based around PE30 or PE31, 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 Springwood is easier for you to reach than North Wootton, 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 North Wootton.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Gaywood and West Lynn 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 Norfolk shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in King's Lynn itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Peterborough, Bury St Edmunds and Norwich as well, and many people cover two of those alongside King's Lynn.
Tell us which parts of Norfolk 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.
