Are you looking to turn your interest in psychology, human behaviour, or special educational needs into a measurable, hands-on career? If you want a role that moves beyond basic caregiving and gives you direct experience in behavioural intervention, data analysis, and individual curriculum implementation, this is your next step.

Join our specialised adult team and work alongside industry professionals to deliver high-quality, evidence-based support to autistic adults.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between theory and practice, developing highly sought-after professional skills. You will be responsible for:

• Behavioural Support & Intervention: Learning how to provide behaviourally based support to successfully reduce barriers to learning and improve overall quality of life.

• Data-Driven Progress Tracking: Collecting, recording, and analysing data on learner progress to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and care plans, making adjustments where necessary.

• Curriculum Delivery: Planning, preparing, and executing tailored lessons on-site and within the community to build crucial social, educational, and independence skills.

• Holistic & Personal Care: Supporting individual empowerment and dignity by ensuring learners' personal care, hygiene, dressing, and health needs are fully met.

• Community & Vocational Integration: Guiding learners through social and leisure activities, as well as facilitating access to local employment opportunities.

We are looking for analytical, resilient, and forward-thinking individuals who demonstrate a strong professional drive. To succeed in this role, you will need:

• Relevant Experience: A background (professional, personal, or voluntary) working with individuals with disabilities or young people.

• Resilience under Pressure: The ability to stay calm in high-pressure situations and feel comfortable managing challenging behaviours safely and professionally.

• An Analytical Mindset: Sound literacy and numeracy skills (GCSE Grade C/4 or above in Maths and English is desirable) to accurately interpret verbal and numerical data.

• Strong Communication: The capability to build trusted relationships with learners, families, and multidisciplinary teams while maintaining absolute confidentiality.

• A Growth Mindset: A passion for professional self-development and a genuine desire to master specialised methodologies in autism support.

We are heavily invested in your future. We offer a continuous learning environment where you will participate in mandatory training to achieve recognised qualifications. Our team thrives on Integrity, Teamwork, Continuous Learning, and Person-Centred care.
