**About the Organisation**

We have been around since 1997, when we started as a small playgroup set up by parents dismayed at the lack of provision for their autistic children. Since then, Resources for Autism has grown into a major deliverer of services and support in London and the West Midlands with a turnover of around £2.6m per year. Our mission is to support autistic people to live happy and fulfilling lives. We want to change society’s attitude to autism whilst also providing essential services and enriching opportunities to autistic people.

- A supportive, warm and fun working environment made up of values driven people who are passionate about changing the world for autistic people

As you would expect, we are a neuro-affirming employer, with a strengths and rights based approach to neurodiversity which affirms neurodivergent identity - we don’t want to “fix” or “cure” autism, and we don’t see it as a “disability”. We are working to improve the ways in which we recruit and support neurodiverse employees and those with lived experience of neurodiversity.

You may have experience in areas such as Head of HR, Head of People, Head of Personnel, Director of HR, Director of People, Director of Personnel, HR Director, Personnel Director, HR Manager, Head of Human Resources, Human Resources Director.
