Nurse roles in Newcastle upon Tyne
Nursing work in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
Newcastle upon Tyne and the area we cover
Royal Victoria Infirmary anchors a good deal of the health provision around Jesmond and Gosforth, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Newcastle City Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Jesmond, Gosforth, Heaton and Byker and out towards Fenham, Benwell and Elswick. NE1, NE7 and NE15 come up most often, and work extends through Tyne and Wear.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
Shifts, and how they are booked
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Fenham 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 Heaton.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Gosforth is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What we look for
- ✓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)
What we do for you
One consultant looks after you, knows the difference between the services in Jesmond and Fenham, and is reachable when a shift throws something up. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Newcastle upon Tyne itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Work in Gateshead and South Shields often suits the same people, so tell us how far you are willing to go.
