Since opening, our support team has grown from around 20 to 500 and we have built a reputation as a cutting edge educational, vocational, and residential facility for young people with autism.

Everything we achieve at Prior's Court is down to the commitment, dedication and specialised practice demonstrated by our incredible team of Autism Practitioners.

Whatever the time, whatever the place, an Autism Practitioner has an opportunity to transform the life of a young person with complex autism. It will be challenging but very rewarding.

We are looking for individuals with an interest in, or experience of, working in a care environment, who are passionate about providing a positive learning environment for young people and strive to build a career in care.

For those who are not experienced in care we offer a free, comprehensive training programme which includes hands on experience working alongside experienced and senior team members. We have colleagues who completely changed their career to come and work with us and now thoroughly enjoy how rewarding it can be supporting our young people.
