Healthcare Assistant roles in Stockport
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Stockport, 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.
Where you would be based in Stockport
Work comes up near Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall, much of it within reach of Stepping Hill Hospital. Between Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, most of what we staff around Hazel Grove sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall one week, Hazel Grove, Marple and Reddish the next. If you are based around SK1 or SK5, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
Hours, shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Reddish is easier for you to reach than Heaton Moor, 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 Heaton Moor.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Cheadle and Hazel Grove first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Who we are looking for
- ✓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
- ✓Good spoken and written communication
Why people stay with us
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Greater Manchester shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Stockport itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Manchester, Salford and Oldham as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Stockport.
