Job description

Would you like a fantastic new career in health and social care?

Why not start your day hoping to make a difference and end it knowing you did?

Here at The Richmond Fellowship Scotland, we make a real difference by supporting people in their everyday lives. As an organisation, we support over 2,500 individuals with a variety of needs. Some may have a physical or learning disability, autism, mental health issues, limited verbal communication, or present with challenging behaviour. A number of the people we support also require assistance with moving and handling.

We are looking to recruit a full-time Behaviour Support Advisor to cover our Central & East Region. You will be part of the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Team, with your base either in one of our regional offices or working from home. This is a key support role, providing guidance in managing the challenges faced in a complex service environment.

If you have experience working with people who present with behavioural challenges and have managed services for individuals with learning disabilities or autism, this could be the opportunity for you.

You will spend time in services with staff teams supporting individuals with behavioural challenges and carry out behavioural assessments aimed at improving quality of life. You will develop comprehensive, person-centred Behaviour Support Plans and support the skill development of staff and managers.

Working closely with the Regional PBS Manager, you will plan, implement, and evaluate behavioural interventions. You will also collaborate with operational staff at all levels.

You will be confident in delivering presentations using a range of formats, including PowerPoint, and will help develop learning materials for staff teams-delivering service-specific training across our services.

You will assist in monitoring and reviewing progress, measuring outcomes against original objectives for behavioural input, and producing evaluation reports including graphical data.

There is one full-time post available (35 hours per week). While your base will be in the Central/East region, you must be flexible and willing to travel and work away from your base across this region. This may include overnight stays when required. Travel and subsistence payments will be provided.

Previous experience of working with people with learning disabilities and complex needs is essential. You must also be able to work both independently and as part of a team, effectively plan and manage your workload, and work collaboratively with a range of staff.

This is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful difference-in your life and in the lives of those we support. The work can be challenging, but we offer a competitive salary, enhanced pension contributions, generous annual leave, childcare vouchers, and discounts at over 850 online and high-street retailers.

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

Purpose-Driven Work: Be part of an organisation that genuinely cares about the community. Your efforts will directly contribute to our mission of improving lives by helping people achieve what matters to them.

Growth and Development: We invest in our people. You will have access to continuous professional development opportunities, empowering you to grow in your career.

Supportive Environment: Join a team that values collaboration, diversity, and inclusion. Your well-being and work-life balance are our priorities.

Recognition and Reward: We celebrate achievements and recognise the hard work of our team members, fostering a culture of appreciation and motivation.
