Nurse roles in Birmingham
Nursing work in Birmingham comes in more shapes than most people expect. Protocol Healthcare Services recruits Registered Nurses for agency shifts and for permanent posts, and the right answer depends on what you want your week to look like rather than on what we have to fill.
Where you would be based in Birmingham
Queen Elizabeth Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Edgbaston and Erdington, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Birmingham City Council commissions much of the care in the area, and University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Edgbaston, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield and Selly Oak and out towards Kings Heath, Moseley and Handsworth. Work extends across West Midlands.
What the role involves
- ✓ Medication administration and clinical observations
- ✓ Wound care, catheter care and other clinical tasks within your competence
- ✓ Working alongside GPs, district nurses and multidisciplinary teams
- ✓ Supporting and supervising care and support staff on shift
- ✓ Accurate record keeping and handover
- ✓ Assessing, planning and reviewing care for the people you look after
Hours, shifts and contracts
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Kings Heath work three or four shifts and keep the rest of the week their own. Most people settle into a handful of regular services, often within a few miles of Sutton Coldfield.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Erdington is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
Who we are looking for
- ✓Current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Excellent clinical and communication skills
- ✓Experience in community, elderly or end-of-life care is desirable, but not essential
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
Why people stay with us
