About Us
Autism Initiatives provides a personalised, autism-specialist service designed to make a positive difference to the lives of autistic people.
Our services focus on:
- Supporting individuals to achieve and maintain maximum independence in their homes
- Empowering people to achieve success in all areas of life
- Assisting individuals to pursue their passions and enjoy fulfilling lives
- Enabling people to actively participate in their communities
The Role: Our Expectations
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and flexible individual to join our dynamic support team, where our mission is to encourage autistic people to lead active, rewarding lives. Your work may include:
- Organising community activities such as swimming, walking groups, museum visits, or trips to the cinema
- Promoting health and wellness to help maintain strong well-being
- Supporting individuals with home maintenance and daily living tasks
- Delivering personalised, goal-driven support tailored to each person’s strengths, abilities, and aspirations
While previous experience supporting autistic individuals is a plus, it’s not essential—we provide comprehensive training, and our friendly, supportive team will guide you every step of the way.
Company Values & Culture
We recognise the critical importance of shared values, and we look for people who:
- Approach their role with enthusiasm, empathy, and strong foundations of autism knowledge
- Embrace collaboration and are ready to build strong, trusting relationships with the people we support
