Job overview

Do you have an interest in problem solving? 

Data analysis?

Changing lives? 

If so, the the Intensive Support Team is the place for you. We specialise in supporting individuals at a difficult time in their lives, when this is shown through behaviours that challenge.

We support adults and children with a learning disability, who present with distressed behaviour that is described as complex and challenging. 

NB: Access to a car or alternative travel for business use is essential as this role involves client visits all over Oxfordshire. 

Main duties of the job

You will have the opportunity to observe and work with clients in a variety of settings, such as in their homes, day services, in the community, and in schools.

However, a big part of your role would also be supporting with data collection, analysing information, collating information and developing evidence in a way that will directly influence the support a person receives.

The role will focus on contributing to the assessment of behaviour functions and the application of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) interventions for these individuals, under the supervision of registered clinicians.

This job role is highly rewarding in every sense and provides the opportunity to build skills and knowledge in PBS. 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 professions 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 to apply for the position. We look forward to hearing from you!
