Healthcare Assistant roles in Stirling
Healthcare Assistant work in Stirling 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.
Working around Stirling
Forth Valley Royal Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Bannockburn and Bridge of Allan draw staff from the same pool. Stirling Council runs services locally.
Most placements are in Bannockburn, St Ninians and Bridge of Allan, with regular work further out at Dunblane, Raploch and Cornton. Postings run through FK7, FK8 and FK9, including out at Causewayhead.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Reporting changes and keeping clear records
Shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Raploch on earlies and Cornton on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Bannockburn and Cambusbarron.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Bridge of Allan to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What you will need
- ✓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
