About Us

Spectra Care is a compassionate and forward-thinking care provider committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred support for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, mental health needs, and behaviours that may challenge. We operate supported living services that focus on empowering individuals to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives in the community.

We are passionate about enabling people with complex needs to live full, purposeful lives. Our values-led organisation is dedicated to delivering personalised support rooted in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and Active Support principles.

The Role

As a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, you will play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life of the individuals we support through proactive behavioural strategies and collaborative planning.

You will provide hands-on training, mentorship, and guidance to support workers, ensuring that person-centred care is consistently delivered and that team members feel confident and capable in their roles. You will also serve as a liaison between families, external professionals, and internal teams, promoting best practices and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct descriptive functional behaviour assessments to understand the reasons behind behaviours of concern.
  • Develop, implement, and monitor Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSPs) tailored to individual needs.
  • Lead on the reduction and monitoring of restrictive practices in line with the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) principles.
  • Design and implement data collection systems to evaluate and measure behavioural interventions.
  • Provide structured coaching, guidance, and feedback to support staff and promote the consistent use of PBS strategies.
  • Support services in aligning practice with person-centred values and promote the inclusion, autonomy and rights of individuals.
  • Deliver training on PBS, Active Support, and related topics to improve staff knowledge and confidence.
  • Facilitate regular cascade and team meetings to review progress, share learning, and reinforce good practice.
  • Contribute to service planning, risk assessments, and multi-disciplinary discussions with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Work collaboratively with families and professionals, such as clinical psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists.
  • Maintain accurate, timely records and contribute to audit, research, and service evaluation as required.
  • Uphold safeguarding and data protection standards in all aspects of your work.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who:

  • Has experience in PBS, psychology, education, or health & social care.
  • Is passionate about improving lives and reducing behaviours of concern.
  • Has excellent communication, interpersonal, and teamwork skills.
  • Is confident working independently as well as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Is values-driven and committed to promoting dignity, respect, and inclusion.
  • Has an MSc in applied behaviour analysis or positive behaviour support and are accredited by the UK-SBA or BCBA (essential)
  • Holds a full UK driving licence and has access to their own vehicle (essential)

  • Flexible Working: Full-time, permanent contracts with flexibility to accommodate your work-life balance.
  • Comprehensive Training: Access to the Optimo Learning Academy for continuous personal and professional development.
  • Career Progression: Clear pathways to grow within our expanding organisation.
  • Supportive Team Environment: Work within a team that is compassionate, skilled, and supportive.
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP): Access to confidential emotional and practical support, whenever you need it.
