About PBS4
PBS4 is a values led social care organisation, providing Neurodisability Services to individuals with Learning Disabilities, Autism and/or behaviours that may challenge. We support people living in their own homes, with their own tenancies, and we utilise Positive Behaviour Support as the framework for the support we provide.
We are a medium-sized organisation supporting people across Hampshire, Dorset, Berkshire, Somerset, and Oxfordshire and with a workforce of around 350 employees.
The people we support overcome huge challenges every day to achieve exciting things. Some may be big, some may be smaller, but we are committed to celebrating all of these! We are committed to leading by example in how 21st Century clinical support for people with learning disabilities should look. We aim to raise the bar of Positive Behaviour Support in social care!
Be the change!
People with learning disabilities should have the same right to an ordinary life as anyone else. They need support from people like you to help them achieve this. If you are passionate about helping people to achieve the life they deserve and thrive of seeing others succeed, then a career with PBS4 is the career for you. We value experience in supporting others, but we warmly welcome people without experience who share our values.
