The role of a support worker

Read our team stories

Since I started at Lifeways I have been intrigued by the Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) model. PBS gives you an understanding of so much more than just how to reduce challenging behaviour. It gives you an insight into so many things, and I truly believe this has made me both a better person and a better manager.
