Healthcare Assistant roles in Wigan
Protocol Healthcare Services places Healthcare Assistants in and around Wigan, 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 the work is in Wigan
Work comes up near Ince, Pemberton and Orrell, much of it within reach of Royal Albert Edward Infirmary. Between Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Wigan Council, most of what we staff around Aspull sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Ince, Pemberton and Orrell one week, Aspull, Hindley and Ashton-in-Makerfield the next. Greater Manchester is well within the area we cover.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Helping people wash, dress and stay comfortable
- ✓ Supporting with meals, drinks and nutrition
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Ashton-in-Makerfield is easier for you to reach than Standish, 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 Standish.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Ince and Aspull first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓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
- ✓The right to work in the UK
Working with Protocol
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 Wigan itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in St Helens, Bolton and Warrington as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Wigan.
Tell us which parts of Greater Manchester 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.
