About the Organisation

The Challenging Behaviour Foundation was set up in 1997 by Vivien Cooper OBE, the parent of a child with severe learning disabilities who displayed a range of challenging behaviours. At the time, there was no support for families like Viv’s and no adequate provision to support her son – other than almost three hundred miles away!

Crucially, families remain at the heart of the organisations work. It is their experiences that shape everything; from the direct support provided through to the family support service, to the training delivered forfamilies and professionals, through to the rich evidence base the team bring from working with families to challenge the system and to “speak truth to power”. 

As an equal opportunity employer, the organisation would particularly welcome applications from people with an ethnic minority background or those with a disability, as they are currently underrepresented in the workforce.

This role requires a Basic Disclosure Check. We politely request no contact from recruitment agencies or media sales
