Maisy Gallagher-Horwood, from Shipton-on-Cherwell, has taken on the role of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) media support officer for supported internships at Oxfordshire County Council.
The council offered Ms Gallagher-Horwood the year-long position following a supported internship at the council.
She said: "There are so many opportunities for me, I can’t thank Oxfordshire County Council enough.
"I can even show off my creative side, developing a comic strip newsletter for young people, designed to be accessible to children and young people with SEND."
A job coach also helped Ms Gallagher-Horwood to prepare for her interview by practising answers to anticipated questions.
