At Ivetsey Bank Hospital, our goal is to provide a safe, therapeutic environment where young people can stabilise, recover, and build resilience. As a key member of our multi-disciplinary team, you will play a vital role in shaping a positive, person-centred approach to care that supports both the young people and the wider hospital team.

• Provide coaching and mentoring to direct support staff to ensure the effective implementation of PBS strategies.
• Conduct debrief sessions with staff and the young people following significant incidents to promote well-being.
• Draft and present reports including visual graphs on the effectiveness of PBS interventions to MDT and other relevant stakeholders.
