Description

Are you a recent graduate looking to launch your career as a Speech and Language Therapist, Psychologist, or Occupational Therapist? This is your chance to gain invaluable hands-on experience while making a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people aged 7-18 with autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA).

Join the supportive team at a specialist autism school, where you’ll work alongside passionate professionals, supporting children with pervasive developmental disorders in a nurturing and inclusive environment.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Start Date: Immediate
  • Pay: £95 per day (paid from day one, including a two-week trial)
  • Training: Full training provided after successfully completing a two-week trial

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting children with autism and PDA, some of whom may have cognitive abilities below their age.
  • Assisting with personal care, including helping children with changing when necessary.
  • Understanding and adapting to behaviours, such as students masking behaviours differently (girls often display this more than boys).
  • Building meaningful relationships with students to help them develop and achieve their potential.

Why This Role Is Perfect for You:

  • Gain practical experience that will set you apart for postgraduate study or a career in therapy, psychology, or mental health.
  • Work with and learn from inspirational staff who are dedicated to supporting children with complex needs.
  • Play a vital role in helping children with autism and PDA thrive in a safe, supportive, and structured environment.
