Contract: Permanent
We are hiring! - Work with Us
Do you have a passion for helping vulnerable people enjoy as much fulfilment as they can and feel included in their community? If compassion, care and inclusiveness are an important part of who you are, our opportunities to work away from the routine in a demanding, challenging but emotionally rewarding role could be for you.
Our Turning Point Scotland Services in Positive Behaviour Support are looking for people like you to help provide individualised support to adults with a wide range of needs, either on an individual 1:1 basis or alongside others and as part of a team.
PBS APPROACH AND Turning Point Scotland
Taking a PBS approach to supporting people who have learning disabilities, autism and mental health is not a new concept to TPS. We have in place a number of approaches, resources and training tools in place to support the delivery of a positive approach. Such as;
Communication tools e.g. Talking Mats, Makaton, Communication Charts/Plans
Peron-centred approaches
Commitment to Keys to Life and Citizenship
Functional analysis and understanding the environment
Support planning and behavioural support plans
Autism awareness
Introduction to Forensics
Supervision and support, PDRP
PBS is a whole-system approach to supporting people with complex support needs. It is not a single intervention but rather a person-centred approach which puts people at the centre, working in partnership with the person and their carers to enable the right support to be provided at the right time. The additional value from having a PBS focussed team is to support staff teams at times when the challenges are all-consuming and they are feeling a ‘bit stuck’.
An external professional(s) i.e. one who is not invested in the support the person receives, can take an objective view of the situation and offer solutions. Debriefing and reassurance to the staff team in supporting the individual, could be part of the role.
The PBS team is not a replacement for multi-agency support, but an additional and faster response through:
Manage and prevent staff burnout, lessen the impact of challenging periods on staff and people we support
Rapid response: prevent placement breakdown.
We currently support individuals who present with complex issues
It links in well with and supports our other resources (see above)
It has a trauma informed basis
It fits well with a citizenship approach
Establish positive links with reputable external networks
In Summary
Turning Point Scotland has a history of supporting and understanding individuals with complex issues taking a trauma informed approach across all areas of our work. The PBS and Trauma-informed approaches that we take across the diverse nature of our services, will allow this model to be implemented across TPS services.
TPS recognises that all behaviours are a process of communication and have a valuable meaning. Therefore, a PBS approach seeks to understand people's behaviour and communication with a view to improving support, changing structures, cultures, environments, and empowering people. By offering less restrictive alternatives to physical restraint and psychotropic medication, PBS can play an important role in developing effective community-based support to individuals currently living in hospitals.
The fundamental purpose of this project is to develop a culture of positive and proactive approaches across the LD and Forensic services, and, equip our services with a Practice Leadership toolkit that encourage peer understanding and support, with an emphasis on debriefing, reflection and problem-solving.
The support we provide is always person centred, we do this by involving people who know the person well, this includes family and friends, other health and Social Work professionals, Advocacy services and our own staff members.
We believe having the right values of respect, compassion, inclusion and integrity is all you need to join our team! We would offer you full support in completing your application.
As a Lead Practitioner, you will work with individuals who have a wide range of support needs, providing them with practical and emotional support and encouraging them to achieve their own personal outcomes in all aspects of their daily lives e.g. keeping safe, meaningful activities, community involvement, physical health, relationships, emotional health and wellbeing.
Please note that IT skills are required for all our vacancies.
Where applicable, successful candidates will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of start date.
