Role

The Lived Experience Trainer (neurodiversity focus) will work closely with our existing team of three Lived Experience Trainers and the Lived Experience and Training Lead. They will develop and deliver bespoke and standard Neurodiversity training to a range of public, private and third sector employers. The focus of our training is to improve employers’ understanding of neurodivergence in the workplace and to help employers develop more inclusive recruitment, induction, management practices and work environments.

For this lived experience role, it is essential that the Trainer is lifelong neurodivergent (i.e. is autistic and/or has ADHD, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s/tic disorder or another lifelong neurodivergence). You will need to be comfortable with openly disclosing and discussing related workplace experiences in a training context.

This is an opportunity to join our enthusiastic, supportive and dedicated team at an exciting time of growth and innovation. We pride ourselves on delivering high quality, lived experience-based training and support which makes a real difference to neurodivergent employees and their employers.

This post could be worked in conjunction with the currently advertised Peer Facilitator post by an autistic candidate. If you would like to be considered for both roles, please clearly state this at the top of the open box question titled Reason for application.
