Nurse roles in Maidstone
Protocol Healthcare Services is looking for dedicated, compassionate and professional Registered Nurses to work in and around Maidstone. 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.
Maidstone and the area we cover
Work comes up near Bearsted, Allington and Penenden Heath, much of it within reach of Maidstone Hospital. Between Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust and Kent County Council, most of what we staff around Loose sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Bearsted, Allington and Penenden Heath one week, Loose, Tovil and Coxheath the next. If you are based around ME14 or ME14, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Supporting and supervising care and support staff on shift
Shifts, and how they are booked
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Coxheath is easier for you to reach than Boxley, 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 Boxley.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Bearsted and Loose first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What we look for
- ✓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
What we do for you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Kent shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Maidstone itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Medway, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Dartford as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Maidstone.
Tell us which parts of Kent 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.
