Healthcare Assistant roles in Portsmouth
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Portsmouth, 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.
Portsmouth and the area we cover
Work comes up near Southsea, Cosham and Fratton, much of it within reach of Queen Alexandra Hospital. Between Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and Portsmouth City Council, most of what we staff around Portsea sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Southsea, Cosham and Fratton one week, Portsea, Landport and Copnor the next. If you are based around PO1 or PO2, 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 Copnor is easier for you to reach than Baffins, 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 Baffins.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Southsea and Portsea first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What we look 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
What we do for you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Hampshire shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Portsmouth itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Chichester, Southampton and Winchester as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Portsmouth.
Tell us which parts of Hampshire 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.
