What are We Looking for In You? We are aware that people who want to work with neurodiverse people come from a variety of backgrounds. We want to support motivated people to gain skills in the industry and don’t want to immediately exclude candidates by mandating specific qualifications. All skills relevant to the role can be learned on the job and as there are many support methodologies used in different institutions we are aware that not all skills are transferable. That said, we do have a list of “good to have” qualifications at the end of this section, as well as a list of skills necessary to be able to effectively carry out the role in the long term. Key Skills Resilience - Neurodiverse clients often encounter serious barriers to accessing the world as easily as their typically developing peers. To support individuals who are experiencing extreme challenges requires you to be resilient and capable of putting the client first in all circumstances. Attention to Detail - Effective behaviour support strategies are dependent on accurate and reliable data on the skills being taught. The data is extremely important to decision making and taking data as you teach is a necessary element of the role. Reliability - The programmes our clients access include routines that they rely on. We will of course be understanding but want to ensure that we can always provide the client with the services that they need. Adaptability - Everyone is always still learning all the time. The programme will develop organically based on the clients needs as they develop. We are all on the same team and communicating is critical to ensure changes are made at the right time. ** Good to Have Qualifications** GCSE/A Level Equivalent - Especially in Maths, Sciences, or Psychology. Bachelors Qualifications - Especially BSc qualifications or qualifications in Social Care, Psychology, or Education. Any Behaviour Analytic qualification - Including Registered Behavioural Technician, qualifications in Positive Behavioural Support or Applied Behaviour Analysis, or Support Work and Social Work.
