Job Overview
Principal Education is a recruitment agency working on behalf of a specialist Post 19 provision in Wandsworth, run by an established autism charity. It supports young adults aged 19 to 25 with autism and communication needs, and every learner has an Education, Health and Care Plan. The approach is built on Applied Behaviour Analysis, and learners spend around half their week in the community, learning the skills they need for work and independent living.
This is support work with purpose: helping a young adult catch the bus on their own for the first time, order their own lunch, or turn up to a work placement ready to go.
