Are you a caring, compassionate person with lots to give? This is an exciting opportunity to join us as our new Positive Behaviour Support Champion in Sheffield.

3. Assisting the Registered Nurse and wider care team in the assessment and delivery of individualised and personalised care.
4. Helping to develop creative problem-solving solutions and reducing the use of restrictive practices.
5. Demonstrating a good range of communication skills and displaying respect, dignity, and compassion.
6. Willing to teach and/or support other care colleagues and learners, within the remit of their experience and training.
7. Supporting people with their personal care.
8. Assisting people at mealtimes.
9. Understanding individual health and wellbeing needs.
10. Encouraging and supporting people to take part in social activities, both in and out of the home.
11. Promoting choice, dignity, independence, and respect.
12. Completing and maintaining care records.
