Healthcare Assistant roles in Lymington
Healthcare Assistant work in Lymington 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.
Lymington and the area we cover
Lymington New Forest Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Lymington Town and Lower Pennington draw staff from the same pool. Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Hampshire County Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Lymington Town, Pennington and Lower Pennington, with regular work further out at Buckland, Lower Buckland and Woodside. Postings run through SO41, including out at Boldre.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Assisting with mobility and safe moving and handling
Shifts, and how they are booked
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Lower Buckland on earlies and Woodside on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Lymington Town and Walhampton.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Lower Pennington to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What we look for
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓A caring, patient and reliable approach
- ✓Good spoken and written communication
- ✓Previous care experience is welcome but not essential, as training is provided
