Nurse roles in Kilmarnock
Protocol Healthcare Services is looking for dedicated, compassionate and professional Registered Nurses to work in and around Kilmarnock. 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 Kilmarnock
Work comes up near Shortlees, Bellfield and Onthank, much of it within reach of University Hospital. Between East Ayrshire and East Ayrshire Council, most of what we staff around New Farm Loch sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Shortlees, Bellfield and Onthank one week, New Farm Loch, Riccarton and Bonnyton the next. East Ayrshire is well within the area we cover.
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 Bonnyton is easier for you to reach than Altonhill, 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 Altonhill.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Shortlees and New Farm Loch first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓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
Working with Protocol
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your East Ayrshire shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Kilmarnock itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Ayr, East Kilbride and Paisley as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Kilmarnock.
Tell us which parts of East Ayrshire 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.
