Exciting opportunities at Abbie Day Service!
Abbie Day Service is a day service located within Glasgow. The bright, spacious environment currently offers support to 18 autistic adults. Some supported people have been accessing the service for over 15 years, whilst others have transitioned recently after moving on from school. The Abbie team support people to engage in activities that inspire them and meet their goals and aspirations – these are both community and service-based.
This is your chance to make a real impact and be part of a team that empowers individuals through a variety of building and community-based opportunities including sensory experiences and community projects.
Autism Practitioners will work as part of a team to:
- Develop personalised support plans for the supported individual.
- Build positive relationships with the supported individual.
- Work in partnership with the supported individual, their family, health professionals and their support network.
- Work with stakeholders to ensure the supported individual’s life goals and aspirations are at the centre of their support.
On a day-to-day basis, Autism Practitioners enable supported individuals:
- To take part in their chosen activities, and access local community opportunities.
- To support people to make the decisions that matter to them.
- To promote independence, active citizenship and community inclusion. Required support may include personal care.
As part of your role, you will be required to undertake shift work including weekends, and evenings so flexibility towards working hours is key. Full UK driving license and a willingness to drive company vehicles are desirable for these roles.
