Clinical Team

As an innovative provider of high-quality social care services, Venture People is committed to ensuring our services are psychologically informed. This is embodied by our skilled in-house clinical team, led by a Chartered Psychologist with specialised expertise in complex needs, alongside an Applied Behavioural Analyst and team of Registered Behaviour Technicians. 

Our clinical team supports people with complex needs through direct and indirect clinical input. This helps our wider accommodation, community and specialist services work in a trauma-informed, psychologically informed and outcomes-focused way.

Clinical input may form part of a person’s bespoke recovery or reablement proposal, depending on their needs, goals and support pathway.

Our Clinical Support Services

Our Clinical Team provides strategic, evidence-based interventions, both directly and indirectly, to promote positive outcomes for individuals and teams.

Services include:

  • Clinical strategy and intervention: identifying strategies, offering guidance and delivering psychological interventions tailored for individuals and groups.
  • Trauma-informed practice: supporting approaches that prioritise safety, resilience, trust and emotional wellbeing.
  • Positive Behaviour Support: developing and overseeing behaviour support plans that improve communication, social engagement and quality of life.
  • Reviews and recommendations: participating in MDT reviews and critical case meetings to support collaborative, holistic decision-making.
  • Training and coaching: providing staff training, coaching and debriefing to support confident, consistent practice.
  • Governance strategy: contributing to integrated governance, quality, compliance and continuous improvement.

Specialist Assessments and Diagnostics

Our Clinical Lead is trained in diagnostic assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD in adults, including ADOS-2. We also offer assessments for intellectual difficulties.

Supporting Staff Specialism and Development

To support best practice and offer development opportunities, we have introduced Registered Behaviour Technicians within our clinical teams. Supervised by our Applied Behavioural Analyst, RBTs work closely with individuals and staff teams.

RBT support can include:

  • implementing intervention plans
  • monitoring and updating behaviour support plans
  • family and stakeholder engagement
  • staff training and individual support
  • support for client transitions into new services or settings
  • reviewing incident and ABC data to inform wider service planning

Therapeutic Group Programs

We offer therapeutic group programmes that provide structured, skill-building sessions tailored to specific needs.

These sessions can support wellbeing, coping strategies, confidence, emotional regulation, social engagement and independence.

Outcome-Focused Clinical Support

Clinical input is used to support measurable progress across Venture People’s services. Where appropriate, tools such as the Outcome Star and ReQoL can help people and teams identify goals, track progress and evidence change over time.

This supports recovery-focused work around wellbeing, daily living skills, community engagement, relationships, empowerment and independence.

Supportive, Tailored Pathways

By offering these services, we aim to create outcomes-driven, supportive and tailored pathways that meet diverse client needs while promoting resilience, independence and community engagement.
