Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Chichester

Trusted care and staffing across Chichester

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Chichester and the wider West Sussex coastal plain. 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.

Our home base sits in the South of England, so Chichester is comfortably within the region we know well, though we do not run a high street office in the city. As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency our staffing reach is genuinely national, and we coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Chichester the same careful way we do everywhere we work, with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Chichester

Chichester is the county town and only city in West Sussex, a compact cathedral city built on a Roman street plan whose four main streets still meet at the medieval Market Cross. Its neighbourhoods each have their own character, from the Georgian townhouses near Chichester Cathedral to the leafy family avenues of Summersdale to the north, the harbourside lanes of Fishbourne and Bosham to the west and the quieter residential streets of Whyke and Parklands. Care needs vary just as much across the city and its surrounding villages, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

The city and its villages mostly fall within the PO19 postcode, reaching out to PO18, PO20 and PO21 towards the coast and the Manhood Peninsula. Many of the people we support are older residents who have retired to the area for its mild climate, harbour and countryside, and we understand the practical realities of arranging care across a spread out rural district as well as within the city walls.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at St Richard's Hospital on Spitalfield Lane, the district general hospital for the area and part of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. 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.

Adult social care in Chichester is overseen by West Sussex County Council, which is based at County Hall on West Street in the heart of the city. Care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
