About CHIRYO Outcomes and Intervention Services
CHIRYO Outcomes and Intervention Services is dedicated to improving lives one household at a time. We deliver structured, community-based support built around a coordinated multidisciplinary model, where individuals receive the right level of expertise at the right time. Our Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner deliver evidence-informed intervention that creates real, lasting change in people’s lives.
About the Role
We are recruiting experienced Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner to join our network of self-employed professionals. You’ll work directly with individuals presenting behaviours of concern, focusing on understanding root causes rather than the behaviour alone, and developing practical, personalised strategies that promote positive change and emotional regulation.
This role offers genuine flexibility — you choose whether to work with adults, children and young people, or both, based on your experience and preference. Skills are highly transferable across both, and we’ll match you to clients whose needs align with your expertise.
We strongly believe that meaningful behaviour support comes from real-world experience and demonstrated outcomes, not solely from formal qualification routes. If you have years of experience reducing behaviours of concern, implementing behaviour support plans, and producing real results in challenging environments, we want to hear from you.
You’ll be working with individuals who often have complex, overlapping needs — neurodevelopmental conditions, trauma histories, mental health challenges, or learning differences — and your role is to bring consistency, structure, and practical strategy to situations that have often defeated previous services.
What You'll Be Doing
- Delivering structured, evidence-informed behaviour support across home, school, and community settings
- Working to understand the root causes of behaviours of concern, not just the behaviour itself
- Implementing behaviour support plans, ABC analysis, and personalised intervention strategies agreed with the coordinating team
- Supporting individuals to develop emotional regulation skills and positive coping strategies
- Working closely with families, carers, schools, and other professionals to ensure consistency across environments
- Using de-escalation techniques and, where trained and appropriate, physical intervention frameworks (PROACT-SCIPr, PMVA, Team Teach, or equivalent)
- Contributing to behaviour plan reviews, identifying what’s working and what needs to change
- Modelling positive approaches for families and carers, building their confidence to sustain progress
- Maintaining professional records of interventions and outcomes
- Upholding high standards of safeguarding awareness
What We're Looking For
- Significant demonstrable experience working with individuals presenting behaviours of concern (minimum five years experience)
- Track record of producing real outcomes — reducing incidents, improving regulation, building independence
- Strong working knowledge of behaviour support plans, ABC charts, and functional analysis
- Training in de-escalation and/or physical intervention frameworks (e.g. PROACT-SCIPr, PMVA, Team Teach, MAPA)
- Experience working with at least one of: neurodevelopmental conditions (autism, ADHD, learning disability), trauma-affected children and young people, mental health, or complex behavioural presentations
- Strong understanding of safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, and person-centred support
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with people who may have been let down before
- Confidence working independently and managing your own caseload
- Reliability, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to outcomes-focused support
Requirements
- Self-employed status (sole trader or limited company)
- Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle with business insurance
- Up-to-date mandatory training (safeguarding, manual handling, first aid, and any role-relevant training)
- Enhanced DBS certificate, enrolled on the DBS Update Service (or willing to obtain and enrol)
- Right to work in the UK
