Our services range in their level of complexity and have varying staffing ratios including 1:1 and 2:1 support. About the Role We're looking for committed, compassionate, and creative Autism Practitioners to support a young autistic man as he shapes his brand-new service.

This is a 2:1 support service, where you'll help him engage in sensory activities at home, develop independent living skills, and build meaningful daily routines. He has a passion for music, enjoys relaxing in his hot tub, and values spending time doing the things that make him happy and comfortable. If you're someone who brings creativity, patience, and a positive attitude to your support, we'd love to hear from you and help create a service that truly makes a difference.
