Autism Employment Coach

Do you have a strong passion for Autism? Looking for a role focused on barrier removal rather than heavy targets. Or maybe you have experience of supporting those with barriers and would like to join a fast growing charity who specialise in Autism support? Enjoy building relationships and educating employers?

The role is delivering on two contracts the first is delivering employment support to a range of individuals with Neurodivergent conditions on a 1:1 basis to get them into work and then helping them to thrive in the work environment. You will support individuals at all stages of their journey assisting them in overcoming all barriers. The other contract is focussed on supporting employers to become more neurodivergent friendly. This includes delivering training, workplace assessments and support with retention of staff. The role is home based with travel across North Yorkshire (Such as Harrogate, Darlington and Northallerton) to support your caseloads, meet with employers and attend jobs fairs so driving is essential. This is a full-time role, Monday to Friday 9 – 5.  It is initially a FTC until March 2027 with a possibility of extension. With fantastic opportunities to progress within the new structure, training and a supportive, passionate team to go with it.
 
If you are passionate about autism or learning disabilities (with some experience around this, either work related or lived experience) this could be a great move. You will have worked in a role which is either employment support related, such as a recruitment consultancy, careers advisor, employment advisor etc.  Or you will have worked in another role supporting people to achieve goals, such as working as a learning support assistant, teacher, key worker, support worker etc.
