We're on the lookout for a dedicated and compassionate Healthcare Assistant to join a dynamic team at a warm, inclusive school in Shropshire. This is no ordinary setting — here, you'll be supporting incredible students with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) in a space built to help them thrive, grow, and shine.
Your role at the heart of it all:
You’ll become an essential part of a multi-disciplinary team, working side-by-side with educators and healthcare professionals. From personal care and mobility support to medication administration and emotional encouragement, your impact will be real and rewarding.

• Maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding and safety
Who we’re looking for:
If you’re patient, caring, and genuinely motivated to help young people with complex needs, we want to hear from you. Experience in PMLD or healthcare settings is a plus, but if you’ve got the passion and the drive, we’re ready to support your journey.
You’ll need:
• A calm, compassionate, and resilient attitude
• Strong teamwork and communication skills
• Basic understanding of health and safety in care settings
• Willingness to learn and adapt in a fast-paced environment
Bonus if you bring:
• Experience in SEND, healthcare, or care roles

What you’ll gain from us:
• A dedicated consultant to guide you through your placement
