Accelerate Your Career in Psychology, Healthcare, and Special Education
Are you looking for high-impact, hands‑on experience to launch your career in healthcare, education, or behavioural science? Theoretical knowledge is a great foundation, but nothing beats real-world, clinical exposure. We are currently recruiting forward‑thinking individuals to join a leading specialist campus in Lingfield, Surrey. This centre provides world‑class education and residential care for children and young adults (aged 4‑25) with complex special educational needs, including epilepsy, autism, and severe learning disabilities. If you have 3‑6 months of basic care experience and are looking for a role that offers fully funded professional qualifications and professional development, this is your launchpad.
The Professional Edge: Why This Role Fits Your Goals
Unlike traditional healthcare roles, this position operates term‑time only (39 weeks/year) with Monday‑to‑Friday shift patterns. This gives you your weekends and academic holidays completely free to pursue further study, research, or personal commitments.
What we offer to build your CV:
- Funded Professional Qualifications: We pay for your professional development and care qualifications.
- Multi‑Disciplinary Exposure: Work directly alongside teachers, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and healthcare clinicians.
- Clear Career Progression: Fast‑track opportunities into senior care, coordination, or specialised practitioner roles.
- Practical Benefits: Free on‑site parking, subsidised meals in our on‑site restaurant, occupational pension, and potential access to affordable on‑site accommodation.
The Role: Clinical & Behavioural Support
In this role, you won't just be managing routines; you will be actively implementing specialised care plans and analysing behavioural data to foster independence. Your core responsibilities will include:
- Behavioural & Independence Coaching: Supporting young people with daily living skills, fostering self‑reliance, and managing complex care needs with dignity.
- Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Partnering with clinical and educational teams to ensure holistic development.
- Case Management & Reporting: Accurately recording behavioural data, tracking progress indicators, and contributing to formal care plans.
- Crisis Management & Resilience: Managing behaviours that challenge. This is a rigorous role that will test and build your crisis‑de‑escalation, resilience, and emotional intelligence skills.
Shift Patterns (Monday to Friday Split)
Shifts are organised to optimise campus support. You will work a rotating mix of:
- Early: 06:45 to 13:30
- Late: 15:45 to 22:00
- Long Day/Split: 06:45 to 13:30 and 15:45 to 22:00
Who You Are
We are looking for analytical, resilient, and highly motivated individuals. This role is a perfect match if you are:
- A graduate or student in Psychology, Sociology, Nursing, Social Work, or Education looking for elite field experience.
- An excellent communicator who can remain calm, objective, and analytical under pressure.
- A resilient team player who views challenging behaviours as a puzzle to solve rather than a barrier.
- Possess 3‑6 months of baseline care experience and a driving desire to learn.
Please Note: All successful applicants are subject to a full pre‑employment screening and vetting process, including an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and satisfactory professional referencing.
