**A career that can work around family life? It is possible** 💜

If you’re looking for more than just a term-time job, becoming an Education Assistant at Chailey Heritage could be the start of a career that grows with you.

You’ll work during term-time, as part of a supportive team helping children and young people with physical disabilities and complex medical needs access education and school life.

**And you don’t need to come to us with all the experience**
We’ll give you a full induction followed by specialist, hands-on training to build your skills and confidence.

Your starting pay is just that - a starting point. As you develop, complete training and demonstrate your performance, there are opportunities to progress through our pay structure and build your career. That might mean progressing towards a Lead Education Assistant role, or exploring other opportunities across Chailey Heritage Foundation.

We want to be upfront about the job. This is a hands-on role combining education and learning support with intimate personal care and clinical tasks. It won’t be right for everyone — and that’s okay.

But if you’re practical, compassionate, keen to learn and looking for a career that can fit alongside family life, **this might be the opportunity you hadn’t considered.**

💜 Term-time working
📚 Full induction and specialist training
📈 Pay and career progression
🤝 A supportive multidisciplinary team
🌱 Opportunities to develop within the School and across the Foundation
