Are you looking for a role where you can help people break down barriers to reveal their true abilities and live a life with less restrictions?
If this sounds like you then Everyday Independence is ready to train you to become a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner.
As a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, you will deliver best-practice, person-centered support to people who use challenging behaviours.

Working with people of all ages and achieving outcomes for greater quality of life and less restriction. You will complete our industry leading PBS training programme and ongoing development programme.
Our PBS Practitioners are part of a contemporary and innovative team who meet regularly to celebrate successes, unpack challenges and to learn.
