About the role

• Be listened to and have your direct experience and expertise valued
• Have support from an experienced management and clinical team
• Be celebrated for accomplishing goals with the individual you support
• Have training opportunities that enhance your career development

Company Overview

PBS4 provides support to enable people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour to have independent lives and to live in their own home.
