Matthew Jones - ST-ACS PBS Trainer

After completing his BSc Psychology (Hons) Matthew joined St Anne’s Community Services in 2012. Since then Matthew has supported individuals in a variety of support settings across Leeds, Kirklees and Calderdale including outreach, supported living and residential services.

Matthew currently works as a deputy manager within Bradford Supported Living Services providing support to individuals within their own homes in the community.

Matthew joined the Positive Behaviour Support in 2015 following his involvement in a newly established forensic mental health service. As a developing instructor Matthew has been involved with delivering training within St Anne’s and had the opportunity to work with external organisations.

Matthew was involved with the development of support plans and bespoke training around significant self-harming behaviours and played a key role in the work that culminated in the receipt of the Special Award for Outstanding Practice at the BILD 2017 Leadership Awards.

ST-ACS PBS is our team identity and our new brand name. We use a flexible, holistic and continuum approach focusing on four phases we call primary, secondary, responsive and recovery to support distressed, confused and challenging clients.

Coronavirus (Covid 19) Statement

Due to the exceptional circumstances due to the ongoing Coronavirus (also known as Covid 19) and the Government rules about self-isolating it is very important to reduce the risk of cross infection to all our Clients and staff teams. Our teams are working hard to support all our clients and are committed to keeping everyone as safe as possible.

This means that, in most circumstances, and in line with government information regarding self-isolation and staying at home there should be no visitors to any of our services.

We know, however, that this will be very distressing for some of our Clients.

Therefore, we are saying there must be no visitors to services unless there are exceptional circumstances and the visit is essential.

Before a visit can take place, this must be risk assessed by the manager considering government advice and the individual circumstances. Before setting off on any visit to your relative/friend please get in contact with St Anne’s staff to discuss your visit.

Our services are using all kinds of technology, including social media to make sure that the people we support can stay in touch with those important to them
