Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Aberdeen

Aberdeen • Scotland

Trusted care and staffing across Aberdeen

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Aberdeen and the wider North East of Scotland. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent in their own home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

We want to be straight with you about how we work here. Our base is in the South of England, so we do not run a local office in the Granite City. What we do offer is a genuinely national healthcare staffing service and carefully coordinated home care, delivered in Aberdeen the same way we deliver everywhere we work. Every professional is checked with enhanced disclosure and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant is on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Aberdeen

Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city, a granite built harbour city of around 200,000 people looking out over the North Sea. Its communities are distinct, from the cobbled streets and university buildings of Old Aberdeen to the tight fishing rows of Footdee at the harbour mouth, and out to the suburbs of Cults, Mannofield and Bridge of Don. Care needs differ just as much across these neighbourhoods, so we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. The city sits within the AB postcode area, covering districts from AB10 and AB11 in the centre through to AB15, AB16, AB21, AB22, AB24 and AB25 across the suburbs.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary or Woodend Hospital, both on the Foresterhill health campus in the AB25 postcode and both part of NHS Grampian, the NHS board for Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams. Landmarks such as Marischal College and the busy working harbour are never far away, and neither is a familiar face when a relative needs reassurance close to home.

Adult social care in the city is arranged through Aberdeen City Council and the Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership, using self-directed support so that people have more say over how their care is delivered. Care at home in Scotland is regulated by the Care Inspectorate rather than any English body. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment. Many families we work with fund their own care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.

Staffing for care providers in Aberdeen

Care homes, supported living services, hospitals and community teams across Aberdeen rely on dependable staffing, and that is where our staffing side comes in. This is a national service, so distance from our southern base is no barrier. We supply NMC-registered nurses and midwives, support workers, mental health professionals and learning disability specialists, from a single shift to a fully managed rota and permanent placements. Every professional is vetted to the same high standard, so you get reliable cover for your NHS Grampian and independent sector settings without the compliance headache.
