Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth • Norfolk

Trusted care and staffing across Great Yarmouth

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Great Yarmouth and the wider Norfolk coast. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at 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 is in the South of England, so we are honest that we do not run a local office on the seafront. What we do have is a way of working that travels well. As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency, our reach is genuinely national, and we coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Great Yarmouth the same 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 Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth is a historic seaside town and port on the Norfolk coast, home to around 40,000 people in the town itself and many more across the surrounding borough. Its character shifts from the busy Golden Mile and Britannia Pier along the seafront to quieter riverside streets near the River Yare and out to the villages beyond. Communities such as Gorleston-on-Sea, Caister-on-Sea, Bradwell, Hopton-on-Sea, Belton, Cobholm, Southtown and Ormesby each have their own feel, covered mainly by the NR30 and NR31 postcodes and reaching into NR29. Care needs vary just as much across the area, from town centre flats to coastal bungalows, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston-on-Sea, part of James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which serves Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Waveney. 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 for Great Yarmouth residents is provided by Norfolk County Council, while Great Yarmouth Borough Council looks after district level services. Care across England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which sets the standards that providers are expected to meet. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask Norfolk County 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.
