  Job summary

  Come and join one of the UK's largest independent providers in complex care. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

  Main duties of the job

  We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior PBS Practitioner to join our growing national Behaviour Support Team and take the lead in shaping how Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is delivered across the organisation. You will help embed meaningful, person-centred approaches at every level, ensuring best practice is at the heart of everything we do.

  In this role, you will play a pivotal part in driving our PBS vision, shaping how it is embedded across southern-based services, and contributing to the ongoing development of a consistent, values-led framework both regionally and nationwide. You will provide PBS leadership and support across a wide portfolio of services, including residential care, supported living, hospitals, and neuro-rehabilitation, working with individuals of all ages and diverse, often complex support needs.

  This is a full-time remote role, requiring regular regional and national travel (including overnight stays) to services in the south, with some home-based working depending on activity. This position is ideally suited to candidates based in the London area, with convenient access to commute to services across the region.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
