About The Role
PBS Practitioner (Level 2)
Ready to take the next step in your Positive Behaviour Support career?
We are looking for an experienced and motivated PBS Practitioner (Level 2) to join our PBS team, supporting individuals and services across Salutem Care and Education in Midlands.
This is an opportunity to use your PBS knowledge and experience to make a meaningful difference to people's lives. You will work collaboratively with individuals, families, operational teams and multidisciplinary professionals to deliver evidence-based, person-centred PBS that promotes independence, wellbeing, participation and improved quality of life.
What you'll be doing
As a PBS Practitioner, you will:
Manage your own caseload, taking responsibility for delivering and reviewing high-quality PBS support across services.
Complete functional behaviour assessments and behavioural formulations, identifying the function of behaviour, unmet needs, triggers, reinforcement and environmental factors.
Co-produce, implement and review personalised PBS Plans with individuals, families and staff teams, ensuring support reflects individual goals, communication needs and quality-of-life outcomes.
Develop proactive strategies including environmental adaptations, communication support, strengths-based routines and opportunities to build coping, self-advocacy and independence skills.
Provide coaching, mentoring, practice leadership and structured training to staff teams, supporting them to confidently translate PBS plans into everyday practice.
Analyse behavioural and quality-of-life data to evaluate interventions, identify patterns and inform evidence-based decisions.
Support placement stability, transition and admission planning, crisis planning and community inclusion, working collaboratively with multidisciplinary professionals.
Facilitate PBS event reviews, contribute to MDT and Core Team meetings and provide clear, solution-focused reports and recommendations.
Champion the reduction of restrictive practices, supporting services to implement proactive and least restrictive approaches and individualised restraint reduction plans.
Mentor less experienced colleagues and contribute to wider learning, service development and continuous improvement.
About you
You'll already have experience working within Positive Behaviour Support, with a strong understanding of functional assessment, behavioural formulation and intervention planning. You'll have a relevant Health and Social Care, Psychology or equivalent background, alongside a PBS or relevant behavioural support qualification.
You'll be confident working with autistic people and/or people with learning disabilities who may present challenging behaviour and able to interpret behavioural and outcome data to inform your practice.
Most importantly, you'll be someone who can work with increasing autonomy, positively influence practice and support teams through coaching and constructive feedback, while always keeping the person and their quality of life at the centre of your work.
If you're ready to build on your PBS experience, take greater ownership of your practice and help services achieve meaningful and sustainable improvements for the people we support,…
