Nurse roles in East Kilbride
Nursing work in East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride
University Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around The Village and Calderwood, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. South Lanarkshire Council commissions much of the care in the area.
We fill posts in The Village, Calderwood, Westwood and Greenhills and out towards Stewartfield, St Leonards and The Murray. Work extends across South Lanarkshire.
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 Stewartfield 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 Westwood.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Calderwood is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
Who we are looking for
- ✓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
- ✓Current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
- ✓The right to work in the UK
