Role

Who we are:

The National Autistic Society is the UK’s leading charity for autistic people. Since 1962, we’ve been transforming lives, changing attitudes and helping to create a society that works for autistic adults and children.

We transform lives by providing support, guidance and practical advice for the 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, as well as their three million family members and carers. Autistic people turn to us at key moments or challenging times in their lives, be it getting a diagnosis, going to school or finding work.

We change attitudes by improving public understanding of autism and the difficulties many autistic people face. We also work closely with businesses, local authorities and government to help them provide more autism-friendly spaces, deliver better services and improve laws.

We have come a long way but it is not good enough. There is still so much to do to increase opportunities, reduce social isolation and build a brighter future for people on the spectrum. With your help, we can make it happen.

What we can offer you:

  • Pension scheme
  • 25 days annual leave
  • Excellent induction, training and development programme including training about autism and opportunities to attend our conferences
  • Online staff discount scheme for a range of benefits (cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan)
  • Access to a 24-hour employee assistance programme

The National Autistic Society Scotland require a suitably skilled individual to join our Moving Forward+ with CashBack for Communities programme. Moving Forward+ with CashBack for Communities is aimed at autistic young people who are socio-economically disadvantaged, with the aim of providing positive opportunities to raise their attainment and aspirations.

Who we are looking for

The successful candidate will assist project delivery by helping autistic young people to build confidence and resilience and progress into positive destinations. You should therefore have an understanding of the issues facing autistic young people and be confident communicating with a wide range of audiences.
