ACT for Autism

Do you love kids? Looking for casual employment? A career change? Regular well paid hourly rates? Time off in school holidays?

We are recruiting to expand our support worker team and encourage applicants to complete the form below.

We match our staff carefully to our clients to ensure that our service quality remains individualised and our decision making is centred on how we can meet the holistic needs of our clients.

Maybe your special interest or skillset is exactly what might facilitate a young person's desire for acceptance, belonging and connection?

We have so many clients impacted by the lack of knowledge and skills that are required to create inclusive environments. Legislation and resourcing are critical, but understanding what inclusion actually is, and confronting our personal and professional belief systems and unconscious biases relating to disability are also necessary. We have also had so many clients who have been beautifully supported by outstanding individuals and schools with welcoming cultures. We have clients who have been excluded from their local community and segregated from their childhood friends because of a belief that 'they were better off elsewhere.' This deflection of accountability is at the heart of the narrative underpinning overt discrimination, that would not be acceptable for a moment if a different minority group were the focus.
