Brighton, United Kingdom Ambitious about Autism Full time

**Schools Engagement Officer (1078)**:
At Ambitious about Autism, we stand with autistic children and young people. Our Time for Ambition strategy envisions a world where every autistic young person can be themselves and realise their goals. Yet too often, they face misunderstanding, isolation, and poor mental health at school — with exclusions for autistic children tripling in the past decade.

In 2022, with support from Zurich UK and the Zurich Foundation, we launched Autistic and OK - a pioneering programme empowering autistic pupils to understand themselves, take control of their wellbeing, and feel supported in education. We're now entering Phase 2, expanding the programme to more schools, colleges, and communities across the UK.

We're seeking a Schools Engagement Officer to play a vital role in making this next chapter a success. As a delivery focused role, you will provide hands-on support to schools implementing the Autistic and OK Schools Toolkit. You will coordinate activities for the piloting of our new Whole School Approach and ensure feedback from schools is captured and shared with the wider team. You will also contribute to dissemination activities, helping to raise awareness of the programme and demonstrate its impact.

**About the Role**:
As part of the delivery team, you'll:

- Support schools to implement our _Autistic and OK Toolkit_.
- Coordinate pilot activities for our new _Whole School Approach_.
- Act as the first point of contact for schools, offering practical advice and support.
- Gather feedback and stories from schools to showcase the programme's impact.
- Work alongside our Youth Engagement Officer to ensure autistic young people's voices shape everything we do.

**About You**:

- Experience of working in or with schools, colleges, or the wider education sector.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Great communication skills, with confidence engaging teachers, leaders, and young people.
- A genuine passion for inclusion and improving outcomes for autistic young people.

In return, we offer great benefits including a generous holiday allowance and commitment to continued professional development (CPD), flexible, hybrid working and more

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious individual who would like to work for a forward-thinking, open and honest organisation and make a real impact to the young people we work with. Please find our full recruitment pack on the link below.
