Techniques include but are not limited to; posture and distance when supporting, understanding triggers and escalations signs along with guiding individuals away to deescalate situations.

Their interests include going out for a tasty bite, sensory activities, quiet time on their iPad, relaxing going on holidays, out for walks and to their favourite clubs. One of the gents also attends college and enjoys going out for drives. With your support you’ll reduce social isolation, enable individuals maintain their independence and grow in confidence.

To be an amazing Complex Needs Practitioner, we’ll need you to:

Experience in a care setting Knowledge of care plans Have an empathetic and caring nature. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Confidence in using computers. Be able to work well in a team environment and on your own. Good organisational skills.
