Are you passionate about empowering others and shaping positive futures? At The Loddon School and Loddon Training, we’re looking for a dynamic Specialist Trainer to join our multi-skilled team and help transform the way care and education professionals support individuals with complex needs.
This is more than a training role—it’s an opportunity to influence best practice across education, health and social care, champion positive behaviour support, and make a lasting impact on the lives of people with autism, severe learning disabilities, and mental health conditions.
What You’ll Do
* Deliver engaging PROACT-SCIPr-UK® courses and associated training that meet the highest standards, including Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) guidelines.
* Work creatively to design and deliver training that inspires confidence and competence in others.
* Support instructors and organisations with expert advice, guidance, and additional training.
* Work directly within our training venue at Basingstoke, with occasional travel (and overnight stays) across the UK to share knowledge and best practice.
* Maintain your own professional development and certifications, ensuring you stay at the forefront of legislation and innovation.
What We’re Looking For
* A professional or vocational qualification in Health & Social Care (e.g., Social Work Diploma, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, or relevant degree).
* Ideally, a teaching qualification (e.g., AET Level 3).
* Hands-on experience in positive behaviour support, behaviour analysis, and effective communication strategies.
* Strong organisational skills, creativity in training delivery, and excellent communication abilities.
Why Join Us?
* Impact: Your work will directly improve the quality of life for individuals and empower professionals to deliver compassionate, effective care.
* Growth: We invest in your development—ongoing CPD, professional registration, and certification with BILD ACT.
* Balance: Enjoy generous annual leave and a supportive, collaborative team environment.
* Purpose: Be part of an organisation committed to reducing restrictive practices and promoting dignity and respect.
