What We’re Looking For
  • For you to inspire others with a positive attitude towards supporting vulnerable people
  • Experience with autistic people is helpful but not essential
  • Personal experience or a passion for helping others is welcome

What we can offer you
  • Annual Leave – accrued annual leave paid to you on hours worked
  • Training – Great induction and training, including autism training.
  • Discounts – Online staff discount scheme for shopping, cycling, tech, and more (e.g., Asda, Tesco, Nike, Apple).
  • Support – 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme and counselling.
  • Mindfulness – Free Headspace app for you and up to 3 family/friends.
  • Blue Light Card – Eligibility for discounts.
