Join our team in South West Currently providing outreach and housing support to over 35 autistic people across Lanark, Biggar & Carluke. We encourage and empower individuals to access opportunities that matter to them, including accessing work placements, voluntary projects and a variety of social opportunities.
At Scottish Autism, we acknowledge the specialist support our staff provide to autistic individuals, therefore, those doing support work are known as Autism Practitioners. We continuously improve to ensure all our Autism Practitioners are supported and have the skills to deliver a quality service. This post is a good opportunity for those with generic support worker experience to specialise.
As an Autism Practitioner, experience of working within social care is desirable but not essential, as we are seeking to appoint people who are willing to learn and develop into the role and share our organisational values: Collaboration, Compassion, Change Makers, & Contribution. We will support you to do this by offering an extensive autism-specific training programme.
Autism Practitioners work as part of a team to:
- Develop, review and implement personalised support plans for the supported individual.
- Build positive relationships with the supported individual.
- Work in partnership with the supported individual, and their support network.
- 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 and access local community opportunities.
- To help maintain their tenancies and support them to make the decisions that matter to them.
- To promote independence and active citizenship, community inclusion, and support with household chores. Required support may include personal care.
As part of your role, you will be required to undertake shift work, including weekends and evenings, so flexibility towards working hours is key.
We encourage and welcome applications from people with lived experience of autism.
Scottish Autism offers you:
We are proud to offer a comprehensive benefits package for our colleagues including:
- 32 days' holiday pro rata (which increases with your length of service).
- Sector-leading training from day one, including fully funded support to complete your necessary SVQ.
- Non-contributory life assurance scheme.
- Workplace Pension (Employer matched up to 9%).
- Discount platform.
- Employee Assistance Programme.
