Mr Sullivan (pictured left) will oversee the Short Break Services and Supported/Assisted Living packages, while Mr Le Claire will manage all other areas of the charity’s work, including administration, recruitment, training, strategic development and Family Support.

Nick Winsor,  Chairman of the Board of Trustees, said: “Autism Jersey must continuously adapt to meet the growing demand for the services that we provide and support the needs of our very specific client group. Paul and Philip bring many years of multi-disciplinary experience to Autism Jersey, which will be key as we expand our services to support even more of the people with autism in the Island. The development of our new Centre for Autism is giving us the perfect opportunity to increase our already far-reaching services and ensure that we remain the preferred provider for autism support in Jersey.”
