Empower Lives. Build Confidence.
At Hft, we support learning disabled adults to live with independence, confidence and choice. As an Casual Autism Support Practitioner, you’ll play a meaningful role helping people build skills, stay connected to their community and live life their way.
No two days are the same. You could be supporting someone with daily routines, helping them access hobbies and activities, or building confidence with travel and independence. We support four young males at this service in Coleford, living in four self-contained flats with access to a lovely shared garden. Each individual has access to their own vehicle and they enjoy getting out and about with their support team. They also enjoy spending time in our brand new sensory room which was created following fundraising from our staff.
