Behaviour Support Practitioner

As a Behaviour Support Practitioner with Exemplar Health Care, you'll provide training and visit our homes, to offer effective behaviour support based on people's identified needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your training, coaching and PBS skills to make a real difference.

No two days will be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

assisting in the development, delivery and evaluation of training programmes
supporting our care homes to organise and delivery training to ensure company targets are met
using excellent presentation skills to present a range of new and unfamiliar concepts to staff at all levels, managing varying levels of understanding
measuring and evaluating learning outcomes to include how learning is embedded in practice
supporting clinical teams in reducing the frequency, severity and impact of violence and the use of restrictive interventions
providing support to colleagues around managing behaviour during difficult times, such as when someone's mental health is deteriorating
reviewing incident statistics and evaluating incident reports in individual homes, providing support and additional training where required.

Above all, you're someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

You'll also:

have a level 2 health and social care qualification or equivalent in a relevant discipline
be an excellent presenter, able to deliver information to people with varying understanding
have a caring and sensitive nature
have a keen eye for detail, able to spot areas for improvement
know how to treat people with compassion, dignity and respect
be an excellent team player
be able to communicate with a range of people, including those who use communication aids.
When you start, you'll receive a full induction with support from our Advanced Behaviour Support Practitioners to learn all you need to know about the role.

In this role, you'll play a key role in supporting people who display behaviours of concern and the colleagues who care for them.

You'll develop, deliver and evaluate training programmes from both psychological and physical perspectives.

You'll also support our care home based colleagues to develop behaviour support plans, review behaviour records and role model effective management of behaviours of concern.
