Support Worker roles in Nottingham
If you want Support Worker work in Nottingham, Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for supported living, mental health and learning disability services, on both temporary and permanent contracts.
Nottingham and the area we cover
Queen's Medical Centre anchors a good deal of the health provision around Sherwood and Mapperley, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Nottingham City Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Sherwood, Mapperley, Bulwell and Wollaton and out towards Bilborough, Lenton and Radford. NG7, NG1, NG8 and NG2 come up most often, and work extends through East Midlands.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Supporting people with daily routines and personal care where needed
Shifts, and how they are booked
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Bilborough 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 Bulwell.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Mapperley is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What we look for
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange

We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Nottingham itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Work in Loughborough and Mansfield often suits the same people, so tell us how far you are willing to go.
