Positive Behaviour Support changes lives. Join us and help unlock new possibilities.
As a Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) Practitioner, you will support children and young people with learning disabilities, Autism and other support needs to transform their lives as part of our new service in Norfolk
Who will I support?
You will work with children and young people in Norfolk who may not be accessing education and may be at significant risk of entering specialist residential care.
Your role will focus on helping them remain in their local communities, close to the people and places that matter most.
How will I make a difference?
Every young person will benefit from tailored strategies and interventions to help them flourish in a safe, supportive environment. You will take time to understand each young person’s lived experience and support them, their families, carers and other professionals to learn and apply appropriate positive behaviour support techniques.
Your support will help young people stay in their current placements, access their communities and develop skills and tools they will use for the rest of their lives to live fulfilling, independent lives. Using approaches built on the principles of inclusion, choice and participation, your support could be the difference between a closed door and a clear path to independence
How will I develop?
If you do not already hold a BTEC Level 4 in Positive Behaviour Support (which is desirable), you will be enrolled onto this course and supported throughout your studies while you work with us, on completion you will receive a salary increase to £27,500
