Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom The National Autistic Society Full time £25,000 - £40,000 per year

This advert is for Student Specialist mentors based in Glasgow
Who we are looking for;
The National Autistic Society offers a student support service across Scotland for autistic individuals in higher education, providing support to enable them to achieve their academic potential.

The NAS Student Support service is tailored to the individual needs of students, providing the support they need to help them through college or university. Specialist Mentors provide 1:1 support, advice and guidance to students during regular (usually weekly) sessions.

Most students encounter challenges when entering a new academic and social environment and our Specialist Mentors offer support in various areas including: managing change, disability awareness, emotion management, relationships and boundaries, timetabling and structure, presentation skills and group work, and independent learning skills.

Specialist Mentors provide individualised support to students in higher education and will therefore need to be confident, motivated and resourceful. The successful candidate will be a university graduate with first-hand knowledge of the higher education environment, and experience of working with autistic individuals. We are looking for an excellent communicator who is able to prioritise their work to meet the needs of their students.

Where will you be working?
As a Specialist Mentor you will be responsible for supporting students at higher educational institutions in Glasgow. Ordinarily student support sessions are delivered in person at the student's university or college, but in some cases we provide support online.

You will be joining the Student Support team, which is well established, highly motivated, and completely committed to the outcomes we facilitate for our students.

Hours of work
This is a part-time position, for 25 hours per week. You will be paid for your support hours and allocated administrative time as well as any additional hours for training, supervisions, meetings etc.

Job Description
How to apply
For an informal discussion regarding this vacancy, please contact Moya Flynn (Student Support Co-ordinator, Scotland) at

Applications for this job are sought from anyone who is suitably qualified and experienced for the role but particularly welcome from those with a diagnosis of autism.

The NAS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and adults who use our services and as such expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be required to complete the relevant safeguarding checks.

We are an equal opportunities employer.
