- Qualified to PBS Level 4 (BTEC) or equivalent, with at least 18 months’ experience supporting individuals with complex needs

- Committed to reducing restrictive practices through proactive, evidence-based approaches
- Knowledgeable about relevant legal frameworks, including the Mental Capacity Act 2005
