Job description

At Superior Healthcare, we empower children, young people, and adults with complex clinical needs to live safely, confidently, and joyfully at home.

We’re currently seeking compassionate and dedicated Children’s Care Assistants to join our growing team, supporting children with complex healthcare needs across the Brighton and Sussex area.

This is a rewarding opportunity to provide meaningful, one-to-one care that helps children and their families thrive at home. Whether you’re experienced in complex care or looking to further develop your clinical skills, we’d love to hear from you.

We currently have opportunities supporting two children within the Brighton and Lewes areas:

A 13-year-old boy living with his family in Hove.

He is a bright and engaging young boy with a warm family environment (and two friendly cats!). This is a 2:1 care package, requiring attentive overnight support to ensure his safety, comfort, and wellbeing.

A 1-year-old girl living with her mum in Lewes.

She is a happy, energetic little girl who loves swimming and getting out and about with her care team. She requires dedicated support both at home and in the community, helping to meet her complex clinical needs while encouraging her development and enjoyment of everyday activities.

Depending on the client you support, duties may include:

  • Ventilator care and monitoring
  • PEG feeding
  • Oral and nasal suctioning
  • Oxygen and nebuliser administration
  • Moving and handling
  • Medication administration
  • Personal care and daily living support
  • Clinical monitoring and recording
  • Providing reassurance and emotional support to children and families

Waking Nights 21:00 – 07:00

Additional hours are available in nearby areas such as Crawley and Polegate. We’ll work with you to build a rota that supports your lifestyle and availability.
