Healthcare Assistant roles in Merton
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Merton, 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.
Merton and the area we cover
Work comes up near Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park, much of it within reach of St George's Hospital. Between St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Merton Council, most of what we staff around South Wimbledon sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park one week, South Wimbledon, Raynes Park and Merton Park the next. If you are based around SW19 or SW20, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
Shifts, and how they are booked
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Merton Park is easier for you to reach than Colliers Wood, 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 Colliers Wood.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Wimbledon and South Wimbledon first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What we look for
- ✓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
What we do for you
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 Merton itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Wandsworth, Sutton and Kingston upon Thames as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Merton.
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.
