Job Description




What You’ll Be Doing

Do you want to make a meaningful difference? Southdown is a not-for-profit provider of accommodation, care and support for 160 adults with learning and physical disabilities in our 23 supported living services and 4 residential care homes across Sussex.

As a senior support worker, you’ll help clients to live well by supporting them with everyday tasks such as personal care, cooking, and trips out, as well as support and oversee the day-to-day operations of the care team in the absence of the manager.

We welcome applications from candidates with previous experience in roles such as Health Care Assistant, Care Assistant, Support Worker, Senior Support Worker, Nurse, Social Care Worker, Senior Care Assistant, Mental Health Care Worker, Nursing Home Assistant, Personal Assistant or Residential Care Worker.

‘The best thing about my job is the clients. Getting to know them, getting to know their characters and just enjoying life with them’ – Karen, Southdown Support Worker.

Service Description

Sackville Gardens is a supported living service for 5 adults with learning disabilities. The property is a new build, arranged over three floors of five self-contained flats each individually tailored. On the ground floor, there is a large communal lounge/kitchen, an office and staff toilet/shower room, and a very large lawned back garden with a small patio area suitable for wheelchair users. The building is in a quiet road near amenities in Hove and the seafront, and very close to public transport.

Our clients are supported to lead active, fulfilling lives and are supported to make the most of their local community while developing each client’s choice, control and independence.
