• Supporting the young people with all their needs whilst encouraging independence;
• Working effectively as part of a team;
• Managing and supporting the young people’s well-being and behaviour, ensuring any significant behavioural or physical occurrences are promptly addressed and reported, referring to a senior member of staff as appropriate.
In return, Continual Professional Development will be encouraged for all staff including a focus on autism specific training and opportunities.
