Recruitment Information Sessions

This post is a good opportunity for those with generic support worker experience to specialise but equally for those without experience that have a real interest in autism, building relationships and supporting people are very welcome. Skills relating to supporting others are usually transferrable and we recruit people from a range of backgrounds: from hairdressing to postal workers! Reliability and consistency are important to the people we support. Join us and explore the learning pathway. We are proud that the majority of our workforce have over 5 years’ service and that Scottish Autism nurtures career pathways within the organisation.

Autism Practitioners provide support to autistic individuals to enable them to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives. The kind of support our Autism Practitioners provide depends on

the needs and aspirations of the supported individuals. This can vary from learning everyday skills and activities of daily living (self-care, money management, general housekeeping and cooking skills) to accessing their communities and to take part and engage in leisure activities.

We very much value and welcome interest from autistic people and those with personal experience of autism within their family or community. We, like most organisations, provide fully funded support to complete SVQ Level 3 but it’s our sector leading autism training that makes the learning experience outstanding from day one.
