Your Role: Make a Difference Every Day
As an Autism Practitioner with The Nursing Partnership in Orkney, you'll be providing personalised support to autistic adults, helping them live a full, independent life within the community. No two days will be the same! From planning and supporting activities - whether it's day trips, local events, or shopping - to offering guidance on essential life skills like budgeting and personal care, your role will truly impact the people you support.
You'll work closely with the individuals in your care, creating a tailored support plan that reflects their goals and ambitions, while partnering with their families, health professionals, and other stakeholders to ensure they lead an active, fulfilled life. Whether it's supporting someone on holiday or helping them manage their home, you'll be their champion every step of the way.
