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

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.
About the Role
As a Children’s Complex Care Assistant, you’ll provide high-quality clinical and personal care tailored to each child’s individual needs. You’ll work closely with families and clinical teams to deliver safe, compassionate care in the home environment.

Client 2 – Lewes
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.

- Ventilator care and monitoring

- Oral and nasal suctioning
- Oxygen and nebuliser administration

- Medication administration

This role is ideal for someone calm, confident, and who thrives in a one-to-one environment where attention to detail truly changes lives.
