Role

The Peer Facilitator (autism focus) will work closely with the existing autistic Peer Facilitator and team of Lived Experience Trainers and the Lived Experience and Training Lead. Building on our existing 8-week ‘Aut Support Works!’ course and open sessions, they will co-develop and deliver peer group sessions for autistic job-seekers and workers.

The Peer Facilitator will be supported to develop their facilitation and training skills and to input their lived experience persuasively and strategically to the sessions, with a focus on identifying solutions and positive outcomes for individual participants. For this Lived Experience role, it is essential that the Peer Facilitator is autistic (by formal diagnosis or self-identified). You will need to be comfortable with openly disclosing and with discussing related workplace experiences in group and open online sessions.

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 support and training, which makes a real difference to neurodivergent job-seekers, workers and their employers.
