Priors Court Graduate Programme is an 18-month programme designed to be a structured yet flexible pathway to a rewarding career, in care. With two decades of autism expertise we will offer you an excellent standard of training and development to support your career development and enhance your skills, knowledge and experience in autism.

It will equip you with the knowledge and experience required, to better understand and contribute to the excellent work we do to support our amazing young people. Every day will be different, and no matter which department you work within, you will be having a positive impact and changing lives.
