“Working at Robin has been an important part of my professional journey. I joined the service with a background in Law, but through working closely with autistic adults, families and professionals, I gained hands-on experience that gave me a much deeper understanding of social care, advocacy and person-centred support. That experience helped shape my decision to progress into Social Work. I am now moving on from Robin to begin my career as a qualified Social Worker, taking with me the knowledge, confidence and values I developed during my time with the service.“

“Looking at how my career has developed, I really appreciate the training and mentorship I received at
Robin. I can still see the difference it has made to my practice compared with people who have not had
the same development pathway. I had a wonderful experience working with the team from October
2023 to August 2024 and only left because I relocated. The knowledge and skills I developed at Robin
continue to support me in my career today.”

As a parent of a son with complex autism, epilepsy and severe learning disabilities, our experience with Robin Autism Services has been life-changing.

He has been with them as a child and now continues to be supported as a young adult, which says a lot in itself. His team of carers engage him in meaningful, fun and stimulating activities at home as well as out in the community -  always adapting their approach to suit his needs. All are exceptionally well trained, calm and consistent. Office staff are very responsive with clear communication too. Everybody regularly goes above and beyond to make sure he feels safe and understood.

I’ve seen real, lasting progress over the years - including reduced anxiety and increased confidence - and have felt supported as a parent throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and her team.

Robins provides amazing carers for my autistic daughter. The Robins Management Team listen to my daughter (and me) and provide gentle, calm and very well trained staff who all understand the day to day difficulties my daughter faces. They carefully steer my daughter towards becoming more independent which means helping her with her executive function skills and helping her with her learning for life skills. These wonderful people are always flexible and open-minded and we are very, very grateful for their consistency and patience.

Frequently Asked Questions about Autism Support Worker Jobs in London

  • Do I need previous autism experience to apply for autism support worker jobs in London with Robin?

    Not for every role. Previous autism or social-care experience is welcomed, and some complex packages require relevant experience. However, we also look for the right values, willingness to learn, reliability and ability to build respectful relationships. Successful applicants complete Robin’s specialist autism development programme, including NAPPI, Positive Behaviour Support and trauma-informed practice.

  • What qualifications do Robin support workers hold?

    Our team comes from a wide range of backgrounds, including psychology, public health, health and social care, business, finance and other professions. Some staff join us with formal care qualifications and others develop through Robin’s specialist training programme. All staff must complete the training and competencies required for their role.

  • What makes a good Robin Support Worker / Autism Practitioner?

    Qualifications and experience matter, but so do curiosity, patience, reliability and the ability to listen. We look for people who want to understand why something is happening, who are willing to reflect on their own practice and who see supporting independence as more important than simply doing things for someone.

  • Where are Robin’s autism support worker jobs in London based?

    Roles are mainly community-based across Greater London. Staff may support people in their own homes, colleges, day services, workplaces and local communities. Our main office is at CEME Campus in Rainham.

  • Is there progression available in these roles?

    Yes. We encourage staff to develop through specialist training, supervision, reflective practice and opportunities to take on additional responsibility. Members of our team have progressed from frontline support into senior, coordination and training roles, while former staff have also gone on to develop careers in areas such as psychology and social work.

    We are proud when people use the skills they develop at Robin to progress, whether that progression happens within our organisation or later in their wider career.
