Are you ready to make a real impact in someone’s life? 

We’re looking for committed, compassionate, and creative Autism Practitioners to support someone to shape their new service! The team will be supporting Tony, a young adult who is about to take a major step forward - transitioning from children's services into his own tenancy. 

This isn’t just a job - it’s a chance to walk alongside someone at a turning point in their life, helping them shape their future, explore new possibilities, and thrive in adulthood. 

You’ll be part of a small, dedicated team, working closely with Tony, his family, and professionals to ensure he feels safe, supported, understood, and empowered every step of the way. 

Tony loves going out in the car, listening to music and enjoys spending time with his team. He also has a brilliant sense of humour. 

Here’s what his current support team had to say: 

 
“Our lives are so much better and happier since we came into Tony’s life!” 

Autism Practitioners will work as a team to: 

• Support the young person to feel safe, understood, relaxed, content and happy in all areas of his life, 

• Implement personalised support plans to ensure consistency for him during a time of uncertainty and change, 

• Build positive relationships with the gentleman and his family, 

• Work with stakeholders to ensure his life goals and aspirations are at the centre of his support, 

• Use initiative to support this young man to be an active part of his local community and access a variety of interests which allow him to meet his goals, 

On a day-to-day basis, Autism Practitioners will enable the person: 

• To take part in his chosen activities, 

• To make decisions that matter to him and to feel empowered, 

Desirable criteria: 

• Experience in supporting a range of needs, including autism & learning disability 

• Experience in providing personal care and moving & handling 

• Successful candidates will have a knowledge or be willing to learn about a Low Arousal Approach and creating stress free environments.
