About us…
PBS4 is a values-led social care organisation, providing Neurodisability Services to individuals with Learning Disabilities, Autism and/or behaviours that may challenge. We support people living in their own homes, with their own tenancies, and we utilise Positive Behaviour Support as the framework for the support we provide.
We are a medium-sized organisation supporting 40 people across Hampshire, Dorset, Berkshire, Somerset and Oxfordshire and with a workforce of around 280 employees.
The people we support overcome huge challenges every day to achieve exciting things. Some may be big, some may be smaller, but we are committed to celebrating all of these!
We are committed to leading by example in how 21st Century clinical support for people with learning disabilities should look. We aim to raise the bar of Positive Behaviour Support in social care!
The role...
Due to continued growth, we are looking for a Clinical and Training Practitioner to provide support within a dual-focused role for people we support and teams across all regions. A primary focus will be on the candidate working with the team to enhance our external consultancy and training support alongside the internal support we already provide. We have a strong Clinical & Training team (The Enablement Hub), and we are looking for exceptional candidates to add to this strength.
Our aim is to change the world for the individuals we support and challenge the world of PBS in the UK. We want people who can join us in driving these changes. Some examples of the developments PBS4 have been central in have included organising the PBS festival, developing and supporting PBS networks locally, supporting the RCN Learning Disability Forum, and supporting the work of the UK Society of Behaviour Analysis. We have worked with NHS England to plan and deliver Positive Behaviour Support training across the South West. We need strong candidates to join us in order to continue our pioneering work.
The size of the Enablement Hub is high in relation to the number of people we support which enables a high level of clinical input and outcomes throughout our work; this is a highly rewarding career role for the right candidate. The Clinical & Training team are a hugely valued resource in our organisation, and evidence-based approaches are a priority for the people we support. The direct clinical input, using evidence-based practice, is the cornerstone to what we do. You will make life-changing improvements for the people we support and career-changing support to our employees.

Company Overview
PBS4 provides support to enable people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour to have independent lives and to live in their own home. Our approach is underpinned by Positive Behaviour Support. Positive Behaviour Support is an approach mostly used to support people with learning disabilities whose behaviours challenge others. The goal is to shift the focus away from reducing challenging behaviour to understanding what that behaviour means and supporting people to get what they need better.
