Responsibilities

Gheel Autism Services provides person-cantered day opportunities across Dublin, offering unique and tailored supports based on the choices, needs, and aspirations of the individuals we support.
As part of our dedicated team, you will work closely with autistic adults to support them in building meaningful and independent lives. This includes helping individuals develop daily living skills, build confidence in managing their own routines, and explore pathways into education, training, and employment. You will also support them in accessing and participating in recreational and social activities that align with their interests and promote community inclusion. Each day is an opportunity to make a real impact by encouraging self-determination and helping individuals achieve personal goals.
Our services are evolving in line with the New Directions model of service delivery, placing strong emphasis on person-led planning, community involvement, and sensory-aware environments. This approach ensures that every person receives personalised support in a way that reflects their needs, preferences, and communication styles.
While our day services generally operate Monday to Friday during daytime hours, some flexibility may be required to accommodate the individual needs of those we support. In return, we offer a warm and collaborative working environment, annual salary increments, and strong opportunities for career progression and professional development through continuous training and support.
