- Develop, implement, and monitor Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSPs) tailored to individual needs.
- Lead on the reduction and monitoring of restrictive practices in line with the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) principles.
- Design and implement data collection systems to evaluate and measure behavioural interventions.
- Provide structured coaching, guidance, and feedback to support staff and promote the consistent use of PBS strategies.
- Support services in aligning practice with person-centred values and promote the inclusion, autonomy, and rights of individuals.
- Deliver training on PBS, Active Support, and related topics to improve staff knowledge and confidence.
- Facilitate regular cascade and team meetings to review progress, share learning, and reinforce good practice.
- Contribute to service planning, risk assessments, and multi-disciplinary discussions with internal and external stakeholders.
- Work collaboratively with families and professionals, such as clinical psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists.
- Maintain accurate, timely records and contribute to audit, research, and service evaluation as required.
- Uphold safeguarding and data protection standards in all aspects of your work.
