You will get to work with a range of professionals, such as Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Clinical Psychologists and Behaviour Specialists within the team, as well as a range of professionals from different settings, such as Consultant Psychiatrists, Teachers, Social Workers, and Support Workers. If you are keen to learn and be fully involved in working with people with a learning disability who show behaviours that challenge, we would encourage you to read our job description and person specification and apply for the position. We look forward to hearing from you!
