Eddy was an intern who completed his placements at Whittington Hospital.

Since graduating from the about Autism programme, he is now working shift work as a Healthcare Assistant (HCA) in our hospital’s Endoscopy department.

“Before my internship, I did odd jobs of babysitting or helping my neighbours, but I never thought I could get a job working in a hospital, which is what I have always wanted to do.

"I’ve grown a lot and I am much more confident in the workplace. Before I started the placement I couldn’t even travel by myself and now I am confident doing so."

Welcome to the Whit family, Eddy!
