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 provide outstanding training and are continuously improving 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 a generic support worker experience to specialise.
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.
"Every day is different in Lothian and I enjoy experiencing different activities with the individuals we support" staff member, Lothian.
Our Services:
ARC - Day opportunities supporting individuals with autism to gain new skills and interests in a safe and thriving environment
Outreach - Supporting individuals with autism within their home and in the community to access local amenities and resources
Housing Support - To support individuals with autism to maintain their own tenancy and to provide care at home as required
Adult Residential - To provide a home to individuals with autism within a group setting while promoting life skills
Scottish Autism's Values are:
- 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
- Contribution- we love what we do, we never lose sight of our purpose and the difference we make in society
It is not necessary to have experience of working within social care as we are seeking to appoint Autism Practitioners who share our values and are willing to learn and develop into the role.
We encourage and welcome applications from people with lived experience of autism.
On a day-to-day basis, Autism Practitioners enable autistic people to complete all activities of daily living, which includes personal care and household chores. You can also expect to be out and about supporting autistic people to access their communities and to take part in activities of their choosing. There will be occasional waking night shifts available.
Scottish Autism offers you:
- 32 days' holiday (which increases with your length of service)
- Sector leading training from day one, including fully funded support to complete your necessary SVQ
