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.

- Access to a 24-hour employee assistance programme & a Headspace App

This role is based in our school, the main part of your role will be to support our pupils during the day.
