You will be providing high quality supervision and support so experience of managing challenging situations calmly and successfully is essential.
You will work closely families and other system partners to prevent people entering into crisis so that a hospital admission is not necessary. You will also support the successful discharge of people with a Learning Disability and/or Autism who are in hospital under the MHA 1983.
You will need a strong understanding of supported accommodation including residential and supported living settings and be able to work closely with support providers to ensure that they are working to further people's independence in line with strength-based practice.
There may also be opportunities to support discharge of adults with an acquired brain injury.
