Looking for a fresh challenge this autumn? Join our Central Area Services Team, supporting over 70 autistic adults across housing support, care at home, day opportunities and outreach services.

At Scottish Autism, we value the specialist care our staff provide, offering outstanding training and a supportive environment. Whether you’re experienced in social care or new to the field, this role provides a fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully.

As an Autism Practitioner, you’ll:

• Support autistic individuals across a mixture of outreach, housing support, and residential services to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
• Develop individuals’ independence, confidence, and everyday life skills, including managing and maintaining their own tenancy, household tasks, cooking, budgeting, and paying bills.
• Support people to build confidence in relationships, access groups, activities, and local amenities, and become more involved in their communities.
• Support individuals to achieve personal goals, while promoting their voice, choice in all aspects of their lives.
• Personal care is an essential part of the role and will vary depending on individual needs. This may include support with toileting, medication, bathing, and oral hygiene.

This is a 24/7 service, and you’ll work a fixed rota covering a mix of morning, day, evening, sleepover and weekend shifts. In some services, 7am starts are an essential requirement of the rota and applicants must be able to accommodate these shifts.
