Our BCSSU delivers evidence-based and innovative interventions and services to individuals who, due to multiple or complex needs require specialist behaviour change treatment or holistic support.

However, we re not looking for someone who ticks every box, just so long as you have an engaging personality and the ability to build and develop relationships with stakeholders at all levels, including those with challenging behaviour or complex needs.

This is an excellent opportunity to promote positive change, the protection of victims and children, plus the development of pro-social behaviour through a multi-agency approach.
