We're seeking someone with experience supporting autistic young people and a good understanding of intensive interaction, person-centred support and sensory needs. You'll be patient, creative and adaptable, tailoring your approach to his individual interests and goals.
The focus of the role is to encourage independence, promote social and community engagement, and support him to develop confidence in everyday life while building a positive, long-term relationship with him and his family.
