Nurse roles in Weymouth
If you are an NMC-registered nurse living in or near Weymouth, we would like to hear from you. Protocol Healthcare Services supplies nurses to community and healthcare settings across the UK, on temporary contracts, permanent contracts, or a mix of the two while you work out what suits.
Where you would be based in Weymouth
Weymouth Community Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Melcombe Regis and Rodwell draw staff from the same pool. Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Dorset Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Melcombe Regis, Wyke Regis and Rodwell, with regular work further out at Westham, Radipole and Preston. Postings run through DT3 and DT4, including out at Littlemoor.
What the role involves
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Medication administration and clinical observations
- ✓ Wound care, catheter care and other clinical tasks within your competence
Hours, shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Radipole on earlies and Preston on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Melcombe Regis and Overcombe.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Rodwell to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Who we are looking for
- ✓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)
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Excellent clinical and communication skills
Why people stay with us
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Dorset services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Weymouth itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Dorchester, Wareham and Blandford Forum are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Weymouth both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Melcombe Regis, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
Nurse Jobs in Weymouth, answered
You need current NMC registration and the right to work in the UK. Experience in community, elderly or end-of-life care is desirable but not essential, and we will talk through which settings around Weymouth suit your background.
Day, night and weekend shifts, on full-time and part-time patterns. You set your availability and we work to it. Once you are established we can offer regular ongoing shifts rather than one-offs.
Both. We recruit for temporary and permanent positions, and many people start on agency shifts around Weymouth before moving into a permanent post once they have found a service that suits them.
Across nursing homes, residential services, supported living, community teams and NHS settings. In practice that means Melcombe Regis, Wyke Regis, Rodwell, Westham and Radipole, covering DT3 and DT4, and out into Dorset. Weymouth Community Hospital is the main hospital in the area.
We have immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Once your registration, right-to-work and DBS checks are in place, shifts can usually follow quickly. Call 020 8951 4510 or send us your details to get started.
