About the Role:

Join Paragon Home Healthcare as a Support Carer and make a real difference in one person’s life while working alongside a highly experienced Critical Care Nurse.

We are looking for compassionate and reliable Support Carers to assist a lovely lady in Eastbourne who requires complex care following a spinal cord injury. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in advanced care – including tracheostomy and ventilator support – under the guidance of an experienced nurse and our Nurse Practitioner team.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting personal care, mobility, and daily routines
• Assisting with hoist transfers and bowel management
• Working collaboratively with the lead nurse to ensure safe and dignified care
• Maintaining clear records and ensuring the care plan is followed
• Supporting a calm and positive environment for the client

Why This Role Is Different:

• Mentorship: Work side-by-side with a qualified ICU/ITU nurse
• Specialised Experience: Get involved in high-dependency care with ongoing support
• Training: Ongoing support and development from our clinical team

Job Details:

📌 Job Type: Day and waking night shifts
🗓️ Shift Pattern: Day 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Night 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM

📍 Location: Eastbourne BN20

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous care experience
• A compassionate and proactive attitude
• Willingness to learn and follow clinical guidance
• Own transport required (due to location)

Female carer required due to the need to provide personal care (Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1). We welcome applications from female carers who are kind, dependable and confident supporting someone in their own home. You don’t need spinal injury experience – just a willingness to learn, a common-sense approach and the ability to follow the client’s lead.

Training & Support:
Paragon is a specialist provider of spinal cord injury and complex care. You’ll receive full training before you start, and where possible, time will be given to get familiar with the care routine. No previous experience with spinal care is needed.
