**We are delighted to be recruiting for a specialist adult autism advisor role, focussed on providing one2one and group based support for autistic adults. You don’t need to have any knowledge of or experience of autism, but you do need to be organised, efficient, enjoy completing lots of different types of work every day and feel confident working with a high volume of different people every week. We think this role would suit someone who has worked as a social worker, a teacher or a social prescriber. It is an incredibly rewarding and interesting role, working in a kind and happy team.**

Hours: Full time 35hours per week
