We are looking for a highly motivated Autism Co-ordinator to join our Transition Services team, focussed on delivery
and development of our Enterprise project.
Despite their desire to work, recent statistics tell us that nationally only 3 in 10 autistic people are in
employment (The Buckland Review of Autism Employment, UK Government, 2024), and through our Transition Services
at Perth Autism Support, we aim to change that narrative locally through both our Enterprise project, supporting
autistic teens aged 14-16 years and our Employability project, from the age of 16-24 years.
As part of our wider Transition Services, you will be central to the successful delivery of a high-quality young
person focussed service provide a fun, meaningful programme of Enterprise projects, to develop early
employability skills:
- Increased confidence
- Teamworking
- Skills development – customer service, budgeting, planning etc.
-
The role of Autism Co-ordinator is to lead the planning, preparation and delivery of our Enterprise programmes, using
local networks and connections to look for development opportunities to continue to develop the service, whilst
supporting our wider Employability work.
You will be an ambassador for Perth Autism Support, building relationships across the community to further our vision
to support autistic children and young people to reach their full potential.
