Were recruiting!
Join us as an Autism Support Practitioner and create a future where learning-disabled people live the best life possible.
A professional qualification in health, education or social care is desirable. In addition, you must also have previous experience supporting individuals within a social care, education or health environment.
The individuals we support have challenging behaviour, therefore, previous experience supporting individuals with Autism is essential.
We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning-disabled people wont be heard about the support theyd like. Some wont get to decide what they do for work. Or how to spend or save their money. Many won't get to try out the new hobbies theyd love to try.
But you can change all that.
Do you feel like our values - Kind, Diverse, Positive and Visionary - are a good match to your values? Then weve got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals and thrive in your community.

Every day is different. This can range from supporting someone to plan their weekly shop, to going on an outdoor adventure. Providing everyday personal care to supporting someone to go to their favourite gig. Building someones confidence in using public transport to teaching money management skills. Whats important is supporting people to discover new interests, achieve new goals and maintain important relationships with their family and friends.

All this while working a variety of shifts to support your work and home life balance.
