Autism charity reaches new milestone with 150 employees and counting

Remarkable Autism Charity, Lowton, has reached a new milestone after reaching 150 employees across the organisation.

This is a new record for the charity that supports autistic individuals through its provisions, Wargrave House School, Ascent Autism Specialist College, and Sundial Therapy.

The news comes just a few months after the charity announced its central operations would now be based in a brand-new location in Lowton. Since opening the doors to Remarkable Central, the charity has recruited 26 employees across all provisions, with some even hailing from Lowton and surrounding areas.

 Since September, Remarkable has recruited five new employees who have joined Wargrave House School and Ascent Autism College as teaching support assistants and teaching support assistant apprentices.

CEO of Remarkable Autism Charity, Robin Bush, said: “We are delighted to reach this fantastic milestone at Remarkable as we continue to grow.

“Over the last year, Remarkable and its provisions have gone from strength to strength, with both the charity and our post-16 provision acquiring new sites that offer big spaces, greater flexibility and ultimately increased capacity.”

Robin added: “At Remarkable Autism Charity, we are on a mission to ensure autistic individuals are supported to live happy and fulfilled lives in education and beyond. Our staff is on the ground delivering this support every day, and without their continued dedication and passion, our goals would not be possible.”

As part of its goal to become a first-choice employer, the charity has introduced a range of wellbeing initiatives and programmes for staff including wellness events, workshops and employee benefits.

Most recently, Remarkable became an accredited living wage employer to further demonstrate its commitment to providing a fair wage for all.

As a living wage employer, Remarkable can ensure that all colleagues receive a salary that supports their wellbeing and their families.
