Current Vacancies
Autistic Lived Experience Peer Supporters
Part Time Flexible - Zero Hours/Casual ,
Salary: £16.00 per hour
Location: Remote (UK-based)
Reports to: Service Lead
Start date: As soon as possible ( Subject to a satisfactory DBS check and 2 references)
Interviews : We will be carrying out interviews on a rolling basis throughout the application period.
Applications are now closed, and we’re unfortunately unable to consider any further submissions.
As a very small, part-time team, we have carefully considered the best way to review all applications and shortlist candidates. This has meant making the difficult decision that we won’t be able to respond to everyone individually if they have been unsuccessful.
We will be contacting those who have been shortlisted to Stage 2 over the next few days.
We have tried to balance keeping applications open long enough to give people a fair opportunity to apply, while also ensuring we can review each application with care, and manage the process in a way that is sustainable and does not impact the support we provide to Autistic parents.
