Nurse roles in Torquay
Nursing work in Torquay 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.
Working around Torquay
Torbay Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Babbacombe and St Marychurch, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Torbay Council commissions much of the care in the area, and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Wellswood and Ellacombe and out towards Torre, Chelston and Cockington. TQ1 and TQ2 come up most often, and work extends through Devon.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Medication administration and clinical observations
- ✓ Wound care, catheter care and other clinical tasks within your competence
- ✓ Working alongside GPs, district nurses and multidisciplinary teams
Shifts and contracts
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Torre 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 Wellswood.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around St Marychurch is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What you will need
- ✓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
How we work with you
One consultant looks after you, knows the difference between the services in Babbacombe and Torre, 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 Torquay itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Work in Exeter and Plymouth often suits the same people, so tell us how far you are willing to go.
