SWAN is an autistic-led Charity run for and by autistic women, girls and non-binary people across Scotland.

The post holder will deliver a range of neuro-affirming services and support for autistic women and non-binary people, as well as training and workshops for professionals and allies wishing to develop their knowledge and understanding of autistic people.

The postholder will have at least 2 years’ relevant experience (e.g. group facilitation, 1-2-1 support, peer support, training delivery and/or working with autistic people or other marginalised communities).

For this Lived Experience role, it is essential that the Project Worker is autistic (by formal diagnosis or self-identified). You will need to be comfortable with openly disclosing and discussing related experiences in group and open online sessions, public and professional meetings and in a training context.

SWAN is a small but very active Charity, so multitasking, time management skills, and the ability to prioritise tasks and function well at busy times are key. The role is interesting and varied and there are opportunities to develop the post in line with your strengths and skills.

SWAN offers staff a neuro-inclusive working environment, and takes a proactive, neuro-affirming approach to adjustments, support and flexible working which seeks to remove barriers and enable you to work to the best of your strengths and abilities.

You can find more information about SWAN on our website and in our Strategy.
