Behaviour Analysis is a well-developed discipline devoted to the understanding socially significant improvement of human behaviour. Programmes teach verbal, cognitive, social and self-help skills. New skills are broken down into smaller tasks which are taught in a highly structured and hierarchical sequence with the focus on positively reinforcing or rewarding desired behaviour and ignoring or discouraging inappropriate behaivour.

Jigsaw is located in a rural area in Surrey (Dunsfold Park, near Cranleigh). All of Jigsaw’s vacancies are based at this location.
Does Dunsfold Park have good public transport links?
Unfortunately, Dunsfold Park doesn’t have good public transport links and we advise staff that they will need their own transport. We do have a lift share culture and many staff have arrangements in place to do this. We also run a minibus service at the start and end of the day to/from Guildford train station to help staff get to site
