Nurse roles in Shrewsbury
Nursing work in Shrewsbury 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.
Shrewsbury and the area we cover
Royal Shrewsbury Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Abbey Foregate and Castlefields, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Shropshire Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Telford Hospital NHS Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Abbey Foregate, Castlefields, Coleham and Copthorne and out towards Monkmoor, Meole Brace and Harlescott. SY1, SY2 and SY3 come up most often, and work extends through Shropshire.
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 Monkmoor 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 Coleham.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Castlefields is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What we look for
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
What we do for you
One consultant looks after you, knows the difference between the services in Abbey Foregate and Monkmoor, 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 Shrewsbury itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Work in Telford and Wrexham often suits the same people, so tell us how far you are willing to go.
