If you have experience as a nurse supporting children, young people, or adults with disability or complex support needs, much of Positive Behaviour Support will already feel familiar. You understand that behind behaviour there is often a reason, whether it is pain, anxiety, frustration, trauma, or an unmet need. Your experience in building relationships, understanding risk, and providing compassionate care provides a strong foundation for PBS work. 

Nursing can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be demanding. Shift work, high-pressure environments, competing priorities and the emotional load of caring for others can leave many experienced nurses wondering what else they could do with their skills. 

As a Nurse, you look beyond symptoms to understand people. Positive Behaviour Support takes that same skill and applies it in a new way. The difference is what comes next: in nursing you often have minutes, and in PBS you have time to find out why and follow it through. 

PBS starts from something you already know: behaviour is communication. When someone does not have the words, skills or tools to say what they need, the need shows up another way. PBS is the work of understanding why, changing what is around the person rather than the person, and teaching the skills that meet that need another way.  

It is a discipline, not a knack: backed by international research and practised in group homes, schools, workplaces, family homes and the community.  

Register for one of our information sessions to find out how your nursing experience could translate.  

Come along to learn: 

• What a PBS Practitioner actually does day-to-day
• How your experience would transfer to the role
• What makes Melior’s people-first culture special
• The comprehensive induction, training, and supervision we provide 

You’ll also hear from our Co-Managing Directors, our current PBS Practitioners and People & Culture team, with time for questions over refreshments. If you’d like to, you can also have an informal chat with us about future opportunities.

If you are an occupational therapist with experience supporting people with intellectual disability, developmental disability, neurological conditions or emotional and behavioural needs, you already understand the relationship between people, environments, routines, sensory needs, independence and participation. You know that behaviour rarely happens in isolation. 

You already change the task, the environment or the routine before you try to change the person. Positive Behaviour Support runs on that same principle, applied to behaviour. The difference is how long you get to stay: instead of assess, recommend, discharge, you are there for what happens next.

If you are a speech pathologist with experience supporting children, young people or adults with intellectual disability, developmental disability, neurological conditions or emotional and behavioural needs, you already know how important communication is to wellbeing, relationships, choice and control. You may have worked with people whose behaviour is communicating something they cannot yet express in another way. 

You have always known that behaviour is communication, and you have sat with people who had every reason to be understood and no reliable way to be. Positive Behaviour Support is the work of getting everyone around that person to act on what you already know.

If you are support worker, you have likely seen firsthand how much difference the right approach can make for children, young people and adults with a wide range of support needs. You know people beyond their plans. You understand routines, relationships, triggers, strengths and what can help someone feel safe, understood and supported 

You know the person, beyond their support plan. You understand their strengths, their routines, and the signs that tell you when something isn't quite right. That knowledge is the foundation of Positive Behaviour Support. You've spent years supporting change day to day. PBS allows you to influence it from the start. 

PBS starts from something you already know: behaviour is communication. When someone does not have the words, skills or tools to say what they need, the need shows up another way.

If you are a support coordinator, you already understand how complex a person’s support system can be across family homes, shared living, school, work, providers and community settings. You work across families, providers, plans, risk, goals and changing circumstances. You may have seen the difference quality behaviour support can make when everyone around a person is working from the same understanding. 

You already know the difference it makes when everyone around a person works from the same understanding, and what happens when they don't. Positive Behaviour Support is the work of creating that shared understanding. Coordination puts you next to the plan. PBS puts you at the heart of it.

If you are a teacher with experience supporting students with disability, developmental difference, autism, additional needs or emotional and behavioural concerns, you already understand behaviour, learning, communication, regulation and the impact of environment. You know that when a person is struggling, there is usually more happening beneath the surface. 

You have taught a student whose behaviour made complete sense once you understood what was happening for them. You have also known that understanding one student properly competes with 29 others. In Positive Behaviour Support, that one person is the whole job.
