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.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Practitioner to join our growing national Behaviour Support Team and take the lead in shaping how Positive Behaviour Support is delivered across our Central and Midlands region.

This is a pivotal regional leadership role where you will help embed meaningful, person-centred, values-led PBS approaches at every level of the organisation, ensuring best practice is at the heart of everything we do.

As a Senior PBS Practitioner, you will drive our PBS vision across a broad portfolio of services including residential care, supported living, hospital settings, and neuro-rehabilitation. You will work with individuals of all ages who present with diverse and often complex needs including intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, brain injury, mental health needs and other complex presentations.

This is a full-time remote role, requiring regular regional and national travel (including overnight stays) across the Midlands and Central region, with some home-based working depending on activity. A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential.

Join us and make a real difference in how we support individuals and teams nationwide. Be part of a forward-thinking, values-driven organisation committed to embedding high-quality PBS at every level.

Key responsibilities:

  • Provide strategic leadership in embedding a PBS culture across Active Care Group, ensuring alignment with organisational behaviours, values and best practice standards

  • Support the development and implementation of the organisation's PBS framework across services in the Central and Midlands region, working collaboratively with national PBS colleagues

  • Design and deliver engaging, interactive PBS training to build knowledge, confidence and consistency across teams

  • Lead, coach and develop PBS practitioners and front-line teams, promoting reflective and person-centred practice

  • Conduct comprehensive Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA) and develop high-quality Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs)

  • Lead the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of data-driven, values-based behavioural interventions

  • Conduct incident analysis, reviews and reporting to inform robust, proactive PBS strategies

  • Hold professional responsibility for a regional referral caseload, providing expert advice and recommendations

  • Provide coaching, mentoring and supervision to PBS practitioners and direct support staff

  • Facilitate post-incident debriefs to support wellbeing and promote reflective learning

  • Contribute to the ongoing development of the national Behaviour Support Team

What you'll have:

  • Postgraduate qualification in Positive Behaviour Support or Applied Behaviour Analysis

  • UKSBA registration (or willingness to register)

  • Significant experience (typically 3+ years) in a senior PBS role, including service development and practitioner supervision

  • Demonstrable experience embedding PBS frameworks across services

  • Strong competence in PBS assessment tools, FBA and BSP development

  • Experience completing incident analysis and report writing

  • Experience developing and delivering PBS training

  • Experience managing and supervising PBS practitioners

  • Strong leadership, communication, coaching and analytical skills

  • Good understanding of relevant regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements

  • Ability to manage a complex regional caseload and workload independently

  • Full UK driving licence and access to own vehicle

  • Successful candidates will be required to undergo an Enhanced DBS

We also want to ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable facilities to participate in job applications or interviews to perform essential job functions. To support this, we are a Disability Confident employer.

What to look forward to:

  • 25 days plus bank holidays
  • Birthday off
  • Join the Active Learning Hub and benefit from a wide range of e learning and face to face training and development opportunities
  • Benefits Hub giving discounts and savings on your weekly shop
