Nurse roles in Bolton
If you are an NMC-registered nurse living in or near Bolton, we would like to hear from you. Protocol Healthcare Services supplies nurses to community and healthcare settings across the UK, on temporary contracts, permanent contracts, or a mix of the two while you work out what suits.
Where you would be based in Bolton
Royal Bolton Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Farnworth and Westhoughton draw staff from the same pool. Bolton NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Bolton Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Farnworth, Horwich and Westhoughton, with regular work further out at Astley Bridge, Halliwell and Smithills. Postings run through BL1, BL4 and BL5, including out at Harwood.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Medication administration and clinical observations
- ✓ Wound care, catheter care and other clinical tasks within your competence
Hours, shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Halliwell on earlies and Smithills on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Farnworth and Breightmet.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Westhoughton to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Who we are looking for
- ✓Experience in community, elderly or end-of-life care is desirable, but not essential
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓Current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Excellent clinical and communication skills
Why people stay with us
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Greater Manchester services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Bolton itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Salford, Wigan and Manchester are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Bolton both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Farnworth, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.

Day, night and weekend shifts, on full-time and part-time patterns. You set your availability and we work to it. Once you are established we can offer regular ongoing shifts rather than one-offs.
Both. We recruit for temporary and permanent positions, and many people start on agency shifts around Bolton before moving into a permanent post once they have found a service that suits them.
Across nursing homes, residential services, supported living, community teams and NHS settings.

Royal Bolton Hospital is the main hospital in the area.
