Nurse roles in Kettering
Nursing work in Kettering 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.
Working around Kettering
Kettering General Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Barton Seagrave and Ise Lodge, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. North Northamptonshire Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Barton Seagrave, Ise Lodge, Avondale Grange and St Peter's and out towards All Saints, Northfield and Brambleside. NN15, NN16 and NN14 come up most often, and work extends through Northamptonshire.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Working alongside GPs, district nurses and multidisciplinary teams
Shifts and contracts
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around All Saints 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 Avondale Grange.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Ise Lodge is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What you will need
- ✓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
- ✓Current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
