PBS
Embedded PBS care is not just a concept at Venus Healthcare; it is the very essence of who we are. We believe that by weaving PBS into every element of our organisation, we can provide the highest quality of care to individuals with complex support needs.
We use embedded Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and other evidence-based practices to create a safe and supportive environment where our Service Users can thrive. PBS is a philosophy that emphasises understanding, compassion, and proactive interventions. We develop individualised PBS plans for each Service User in collaboration with them, their families, and our staff. These plans are dynamic documents that evolve with the changing needs and goals of the individual.
Continuing the PBS Journey
Our staff embark on a structured PBS training journey, progressing from an introduction to PBS within their first three months of employment to advanced PBS training after six months. We offer PBS Coaches Training for PBS champions and team managers, with a focus on theoretical and practical aspects of PBS implementation.
We also provide an on-going program of Continuous Professional Development that all our staff have access to. This focuses on developing Knowledge and Understanding of tailored approaches to support that fit within our wider organisational direction.
Comprehensive Staff Training and Development
At Venus Healthcare, we understand that our staff are at the heart of our organisation, and their training and development are paramount. Our tiered approach to staff training encompasses formal face-to-face training, practice-based learning, and continuous skill enhancement which provides not only knowledge but competency in skills application to ensure everyday care delivery is embedded in PBS principles.

Induction and Ongoing Training
Our commitment to staff development begins with comprehensive induction training, covering mandatory topics related to safe and compassionate care. As part of their induction all staff have introduction to PBS training. In total, induction training and shadowing provides a minimum of 120 hours of foundation training in PBS informed approaches to care and related best practice person centred approaches. This initial training sets the foundation for the journey of PBS education.
