Our services are passionate about providing person-centered, trauma-informed care, and providing the best possible care experience for our service users.

They will also contribute to the production of risk assessments and provide psychologically informed advice and support for those directly involved in the care of the individual. They would also support training, supervision, and evaluation of the delivery of individual behavioral management plans, risk management activity, and service user involvement. The post holders should have some experience in providing supervision to a staff group and be able to identify and coordinate the need for systemic support. Ideally, post holders may also have a background in some of the following: teaching, counseling, social work, family work, or nursing.
