About the Role

This is an exciting new opportunity for 2 Outreach and Support Workers within our Adult Autism Service, who will be based at our Macclesfield location. You will be working to support adults from the age of 16 or 18 years upwards (depending on locality) who are autistic or who are on the waiting list for an autism assessment.

You will be working directly in partnership with local autism hubs and relevant third sector partners to develop and deliver improved support in the community under the direction of qualified practitioners and provide follow-up support to bespoke interventions.

We welcome applications from people with lived experience and will look to offer support with the application and recruitment process.
