Make a Real Difference in the Lives of Young People

Are you passionate about supporting children, young people, and families facing challenging circumstances? Whether you’ve worked in youth services, residential care, education, or community support, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

We’re looking for a Behaviour Support Worker to join our dedicated team at ABL Health, a values-driven organisation committed to reducing health inequalities and improving lives through community-based support.

About the role

As a Behaviour Support Worker, you will be working within the Intensive Personalised Support (IPS) team. IPS are an experienced and supportive team, and as a staff member, you will collaborate in delivering personalised, one-to-one support to children and young people across a variety of settings: at home, in schools, and within the community. Our clients may be experiencing a range of needs, including suspected or diagnosed neurodiversity, mental health challenges, trauma, and behaviours considered as complex or high-risk.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

You will work closely with clinicians and support colleagues to ensure a joined-up, consistent approach, contributing to assessments and interventions under the guidance of our Clinical Lead. You will promote positive behaviour, emotional resilience, and personal development in young people, while maintaining accurate and professional records using digital tools and systems. This is a varied and rewarding position, ideal for someone with confidence in working independently whilst also valuing team collaboration.

In this role, you will:

Deliver personalised support based on a Child or Young Person’s (CYP) support plan.
Aid in promoting individual’s independence based on their level of need.
Assist individual’s in accessing the community.
Help in updating support plans and providing essential observations based on first-hand experience with the client.

Monitor individual’s presentation and report concerns to senior team members or management.
Provide accurate notes that capture an honest depiction of a session with a client for record-keeping purposes.
Update support plans and risk assessments based on any new observations of the CYP.
Work flexibly throughout varying hours, including evenings and weekends.
Actively safeguard the individual’s we support.
Who we’re looking for:

We welcome people from a range of professional backgrounds, particularly those with experience in:

Youth work or family support.
Education or alternative provision.
Residential care or supported living.
Mental health or wellbeing services.
