Shinewater Court is located in Eastbourne and offers accommodation and support to adults with a range of disabilities including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida and disabilities resulting from accidents or stroke.
We are a passionate and committed team, delivering a high standard of care and rehabilitation. Our Support Workers and wider Team thrive on working together to enable our service users to be as independent as possible and achieve their rehabilitation goals.
We will train you to provide personalised support to our adult residents. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person.
