Every day is different
Having worked at the Association for a few years, I feel very lucky to have been able to specialise in one very unique population of clients. Autism is so diverse and every day I find myself learning something new and continuing to develop my clinical skills. I have flexibility and autonomy over my own case load and appreciate the opportunity to work in such a collaborative team that all want to make a difference. Every day is different and that’s the best part!
Lucy, Occupational Therapist and Team Leader

From the day I started they made me feel like such a valued member of the team. Getting to support the most beautiful people as part of a great team makes every day so worth it.
