Healthcare Assistant roles in Milton Keynes
Healthcare Assistant work in Milton Keynes 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.
Where you would be based in Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes University Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Central Milton Keynes and Wolverton draw staff from the same pool. Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Milton Keynes City Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Central Milton Keynes, Bletchley and Wolverton, with regular work further out at Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell and Fenny Stratford. Postings run through MK9, including out at Great Linford.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
Hours, shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Newport Pagnell on earlies and Fenny Stratford on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Central Milton Keynes and Woburn Sands.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Wolverton to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Who we are looking for
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
