About the role
Henry is a 34 year-old man, living in the Bournemouth area, supported on a 3 -1 ratio. He has a diagnosis of learning disabilities, autism, and diabetes.
Henry enjoys watching football, movies, and soaps such as Eastenders & Emmerdale. He also loves going to the shops, walking, and painting.
We are looking for team members who are patient and can take the time to listen to Henry. You will need to be confident and able to reassure him when he is feeling anxious, especially around his diabetes, as this can cause him great anxiety if he feels that staff are not leading on this to help him feel safe.
Team members must have the ability to give clear boundaries while maintaining a trusting relationship with Henry.
Henry requires support with some aspects of his day, including cooking and meal preparation, shopping, day-to-day domestic jobs, as well as supporting him during periods of heightened anxiety.

About PBS4
We are a values-led social care provider for adults with neurodisability. We support people to live in their own homes, with their own tenancies, and our model of support is a practice called Positive Behaviour Support. Our CEO Jonathan Beebee is a registered Learning Disabilities Nurse and qualified Behaviour Analyst. We are a medium-sized organisation supporting 35 people across Hampshire, Dorset, Berkshire, and Oxfordshire, with a workforce of just over 300.
Within PBS4, we call Support Workers ‘Enablement Assistants’. As an Enablement Assistant, you will have the support of a team of people dedicated to supporting that person. You will also be able to access support from the Enablement Manager, Deputy Enablement Manager, and the Positive Behaviour Support Clinician who provide you and the team with management and leadership. Your shift pattern may consist of day shifts, waking nights, and sleeps.
Be the change!
People with learning disabilities should have the same right to an ordinary life as anyone else. They need support from people like you to help them achieve this. If you are passionate about helping people to achieve the life they deserve and thrive on seeing others succeed, then a career with PBS4 is the career for you. We value experience in supporting others, but we warmly welcome people without experience who share our values.
We want to create new ways of working, led by passion and drive for doing what is right, and promote innovation from our teams. Join us on our mission to disrupt social care.

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.
