A meaningful career starts here. Empower people to develop the tools they need to thrive.
As a Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) practitioner, you will help young people and adults (16+) with learning disabilities, Autism and sometimes other support needs to transform their lives.
Using techniques built on the principles of inclusion, choice and participation, your support could be the difference between a locked door and an open path to independence.
Who will I support?
You will work with young people (16+) and adults to provide support that will significantly improve their quality of life and avoid admission to a General Adolescent Unit.
How will I make a difference?
- Your support will enable the people you support to stay in their current placements and access their communities.
- You will take time to understand the lived experience of the person you’re supporting. You’ll help them build tools they will use for the rest of their lives to live great, independent lives.
- You’ll also support their families, carers and other professionals to apply and embed these steps for long lasting impact.
