Support Worker roles in Hendon
Support Worker roles in Hendon cover a lot of ground: supported living, mental health services, learning disability support and community teams. Protocol Healthcare Services places people on agency shifts and in permanent posts across all of it.
Working around Hendon
Barnet Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Hendon Central and Brent Street draw staff from the same pool. Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Barnet Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Hendon Central, West Hendon and Brent Street, with regular work further out at The Burroughs, Colindale and Burnt Oak. Postings run through NW4 and NW9, including out at Golders Green.
A typical shift
- ✓ Supporting people with daily routines and personal care where needed
- ✓ Encouraging independence, choice and everyday decision making
- ✓ 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
Shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Colindale on earlies and Burnt Oak on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Hendon Central and Brent Cross.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Brent Street to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What you will need
- ✓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
How we work with you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which London services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Hendon itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Finchley, Mill Hill and Edgware are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Hendon both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Hendon Central, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
