We're working with a highly specialised SEN setting in Eastbourne that supports pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). The school is currently seeking a Support Worker to join their dedicated team full-time, providing hands-on support to students with a wide range of medical and physical needs - including tracheostomy care, PEG feeding, and the use of mobility aids.

This is a long-term opportunity, ideal for a Support Worker who is passionate about making a difference in a nurturing, structured environment.

This Support Worker role would suit someone with experience in:

Adult or child care settings
Personal care or complex physical needs
Residential care, supported living, or NHS environments
Working with non-verbal individuals or those with sensory needs

As a Support Worker, you will:

Provide day-to-day support to pupils aged 3-16 in a specialist education setting
Assist with personal care, manual handling, and regulated medical routines (training provided)
Promote independence, communication, and sensory engagement
Work alongside a team of teachers, therapists, and fellow support staff

What we're looking for in a Support Worker:

Background in care, support work, or health and social care
Compassion, patience, and emotional resilience
A commitment to consistency - stability is key in this environment
A willingness to learn and work as part of a collaborative team

Why this Support Worker role is worth considering:

Full-time, long-term stability
Training and support to transition into education if it's new to you
Hugely rewarding - you'll see the difference you make
A chance to use your care experience in a more structured, daytime setting

If you're a Support Worker ready to take your skills into a new setting - where you'll be supported, valued, and able to make a real impact - we'd love to hear from you.
