For over 37 years, we've been dedicated to empowering individuals to lead more independent lives.
Our Commitment
Our unwavering commitment to delivering responsive and effective care is rooted in our values. These values form the foundation of our service, shaping every aspect of our approach.
Living a Meaningful Life
We seek to help individuals lead independent, meaningful, and healthy lives. Understanding each individual we support is paramount. We build strong relationships by actively listening, communicating honestly, and showing compassion. This allows us to give effective and responsive support.
Our Staff
Our dedicated staff teams share our ethos and family values, drawn to Autism Plus by a genuine desire to make an impact in someone's life.
They are trained to empower the people we support, helping to identify goals and interests, promoting long-term health and well-being and facilitating participation in hobbies, events and being a part of the local community.
We prioritise comprehensive staff development, starting with a mandatory six week induction programme and the completion of the care certificate. Staff also undergo specialist training in areas such as physical interventions, (RRN approved) Autism, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), safeguarding, sensory integration, mental health, REACH, communication and grooming awareness. Beyond initial training we offer ongoing learning and development opportunities including specialist courses and qualifications.
