Trusted care and staffing across Hastings

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Hastings, St Leonards-on-Sea and the East Sussex coast. 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 base is in the South of England, so Hastings sits comfortably within the region we know well, and our healthcare staffing reach is genuinely national. We coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Hastings 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. We do not run a local office in the town, but distance never changes the standard of the people we send.

Local knowledge across Hastings

Hastings is a historic seaside town on the East Sussex coast, best known for the battle of 1066 and the ruins of Hastings Castle looking out over the Channel. Its character shifts from one neighbourhood to the next, from the narrow lanes and net huts of the Old Town beneath the East Hill, to the Regency terraces of St Leonards-on-Sea, and the residential streets of Ore, Hollington, Silverhill and Bohemia. Care needs differ across these communities, from steep hillside homes near West Hill to the flatter suburbs inland, 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 Conquest Hospital on The Ridge, run by East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, which serves Hastings, Rye and the surrounding coast with its emergency department and maternity unit. 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 across the TN34, TN35, TN37 and TN38 postcodes.

Adult social care in the town is provided by East Sussex County Council rather than Hastings Borough Council, as social care sits with the county authority. 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. Care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work.
