Support Worker roles in Finchley
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits Support Workers in and around Finchley for mental health services, learning disability support and community settings. The work is about helping people live the life they want, with as much independence as possible.
Where the work is in Finchley
Work comes up near Finchley Central, Church End and North Finchley, much of it within reach of Barnet Hospital. Between Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and Barnet Council, most of what we staff around East Finchley sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Finchley Central, Church End and North Finchley one week, East Finchley, West Finchley and Woodside Park the next. If you are based around N2 or N3, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
The job day to day
- ✓ Supporting people to access work, education, activities and their community
- ✓ Positive behaviour support and de-escalation, with training provided
- ✓ Medication prompting and support appropriate to your training
- ✓ Accurate notes and clear communication with the wider team
- ✓ Supporting people with daily routines and personal care where needed
- ✓ Encouraging independence, choice and everyday decision making
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Woodside Park is easier for you to reach than Fallow Corner, 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 Fallow Corner.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Finchley Central and East Finchley first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Patience, resilience and respect for the people you support
- ✓Good communication skills
- ✓Experience in mental health or learning disability support is desirable, not essential
Working with Protocol
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your London shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Finchley itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Hendon, Mill Hill and Haringey as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Finchley.
Tell us which parts of London 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.
