Nurse roles in Dumfries
Protocol Healthcare Services is looking for dedicated, compassionate and professional Registered Nurses to work in and around Dumfries. We place nurses on both agency and permanent contracts, so whether you want to pick up shifts around other commitments or move into a settled post, there is a route for you.
Working around Dumfries
Work comes up near Maxwelltown, Troqueer and Georgetown, much of it within reach of Galloway Royal Infirmary. Between Dumfries and Galloway and Galloway Council, most of what we staff around Lochside sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Maxwelltown, Troqueer and Georgetown one week, Lochside, Lincluden and Locharbriggs the next. If you are based around DG1 or DG2, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Medication administration and clinical observations
Shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Locharbriggs is easier for you to reach than Heathhall, 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 Heathhall.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Maxwelltown and Lochside first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What you will need
- ✓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
- ✓Experience in community, elderly or end-of-life care is desirable, but not essential
How we work with you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Dumfries and Galloway shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Dumfries itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Carlisle, Ayr and Kilmarnock as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Dumfries.
Tell us which parts of Dumfries and Galloway 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.
