About the Team and the Role

• Figure out the environment, spot early signs of distress, and adjust routines and sensory input to prevent escalation.
• Work closely with families and, in collaboration with Advanced or Specialist Practitioner, the multidisciplinary team (e.g. psychology, PBS, social work, OT) to provide joined-up support.
• Build independence in daily living and community participation, replacing restrictions with safe, meaningful alternatives.
• Make clear, time-critical decisions in the moment and keep accurate ABC/data records that shape reviews and improve outcomes.
• Notice and report changes in behaviour, health or wellbeing, escalating concerns promptly in line with policy.
• Take part in debriefs and reflective practice, using learning from incidents to reset plans and strengthen support.
• Contribute to safeguarding, proportionate risk assessments and crisis responses using least-restrictive approaches.
