Autism Practitioners will work alongside the Senior Autism Practitioner and other team members to:
- Develop personalised support plans for the supported individual.
- Build positive relationships with the supported individual.
- Work in partnership with the supported individual, their family, health professionals.

On a day-to-day basis, Autism Practitioners enable supported individuals:
- To take part in their chosen activities.

- Required support will include personal care, promoting independence and active citizenship, community inclusion, support with household chores etc.
- You can also expect to be out and about supporting the individual to access and engage in their local community and to take part in activities of their choice, which is great fun for all.
As part of your role, you will be required to undertake shift work, including weekends, evenings, so flexibility towards working hours is key.
