Nurse roles in South Shields
Protocol Healthcare Services is looking for dedicated, compassionate and professional Registered Nurses to work in and around South Shields. 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.
South Shields and the area we cover
Work comes up near Westoe, The Lawe and Harton, much of it within reach of South Tyneside District Hospital. Between Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust and South Tyneside Council, most of what we staff around Cleadon Park sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Westoe, The Lawe and Harton one week, Cleadon Park, Whiteleas and Biddick Hall the next. If you are based around NE33 or NE34, 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 Biddick Hall is easier for you to reach than Simonside, 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 Simonside.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Westoe and Cleadon Park first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
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
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Tyne and Wear shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in South Shields itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead as well, and many people cover two of those alongside South Shields.
Tell us which parts of Tyne and Wear 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.
