Come and join our dedicated and highly motivated team at Scottish Autism. Clannalba House is located in the beautiful countryside in Lammington. We are recruiting to allow us to provide 24-hour residential support to a 26 year old male in his own self-contained home. He is known for his cheeky sense of humour, loves a giggle and carry on. He can be mischievous and enjoys pushing his boundaries with his staff team, who are well versed in his routines. He can find it difficult to communicate his needs and requires his staff team to be patient and focussed on his verbal and non-verbal cues.

This young man needs someone that is focused, proactive and can work under pressure. A knowledge of Autism and complex needs would be beneficial but being the right person is much more important. Someone who can be observant and learn his preferred ways of communication, a calming nature, good sense of humour and someone who enjoys a little bit of banter You will also require a driving licence to enable the supported person to participate fully in their daily activities around the local area.

Autism Practitioners have the most important role within Scottish Autism by making a positive difference every day to the lives of the people we support. We believe in the power of relationships to create transformative change. We hope that you will be the right fit.

“I**_ have spent the past five years supporting and building a relationship with him._**

**_ It has been inspiring and rewarding and no two days are the same._**

**_ I have learned how individual autism is and really love what I do”._**

As an Autism Practitioner, experience of working within social care is desirable but not essential as we are seeking to appoint people who share our values and are willing to learn and develop into the role. We will support you to do this by offering an extensive autism specific training programme.

**Autism Practitioners will work alongside the Senior Autism Practitioner and other team members to;**
- Develop personalised support plans for the supported individual.
- Building positive relationships with the supported individual.
- Work in partnership with the supported individual, their family, health professionals.
- Work with stakeholders to ensure the supported individual’s life goals and aspirations are at the centre of their support.

**On a day-to-day basis, Autism Practitioners enable supported individuals.**
- To take part in their chosen activities,
- Support them to make the decisions that matter to them.
- 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.

**“I feel supported by my line manager in my role” **_Autism Practitioner._**

**We need people who share the following values with Scottish Autism**.

**Collaboration** - We work with others and value their opinions.

**Compassion** - We work with each other and our service users with care and Kindness.

**Change Makers** - We never stand still, we move positively forward always focussed on quality and being the best

**Scottish Autism offers you**:
Staff wellbeing is priority, and we strive to ensure all colleagues feel valued and supported at work.

We provide an excellent benefits package which includes a competitive salary and a personalised learning pathway for all.

We keep it simple with 3 pay points. You progress at your pace as you develop. We benchmark regularly to ensure the rates are competitive.
