Nurse roles in Ferndown
Protocol Healthcare Services is looking for dedicated, compassionate and professional Registered Nurses to work in and around Ferndown. 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.
Where the work is in Ferndown
Work comes up near Ferndown Town Centre, West Parley and Longham, much of it within reach of Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Between University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust and Dorset Council, most of what we staff around West Moors sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Ferndown Town Centre, West Parley and Longham one week, West Moors, Trickett's Cross and Dudsbury the next. If you are based around BH22 or BH22, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Dudsbury is easier for you to reach than Stapehill, 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 Stapehill.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Ferndown Town Centre and West Moors first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓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
Working with Protocol
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Dorset shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Ferndown itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Wimborne, Verwood and Ringwood as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Ferndown.
Tell us which parts of Dorset 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.
