**Supporting autistic individuals**

Supporting autistic and/or neurodivergent people in a specialist care setting provides a rewarding and diverse day-to-day job, however aspects of the role can be demanding. This includes times of crisis when it may be hard to understand and respond to the needs of those we support.

Some of the children, young people and adults we support may have additional, co-occurring conditions including communication and/ or physical disabilities or difficulties meaning certain environments can be overwhelming and stressful. While others will have encountered placements breaking down in the past, relationships changing and other traumatic situations.

Crisis situations do occur and while full ongoing training, peer and managerial support is offered, the role does require resilience and a strength of character alongside the ability to put training theory into practice.
