Nurse roles in Southend-on-Sea
Nursing work in Southend-on-Sea 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.
Where you would be based in Southend-on-Sea
Southend University Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Leigh-on-Sea and Westcliff-on-Sea, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Southend-on-Sea City Council commissions much of the care in the area, and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff-on-Sea, Chalkwell and Thorpe Bay and out towards Shoeburyness, Prittlewell and Southchurch. SS0, SS3, SS9 and SS1 come up most often, and work extends through Essex.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
Hours, shifts and contracts
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Shoeburyness 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 Chalkwell.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Westcliff-on-Sea is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.

- ✓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)
