Who we are:
The National Autistic Society is here to transform lives, change attitudes and create a society that works for autistic people.
We transform lives by providing support, information and practical advice for the 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, as well as their three million family members and carers. Since 1962, autistic people have turned to us at key moments or challenging times in their lives, be it getting a diagnosis, going to school or finding work.
We change attitudes by improving public understanding of autism and the difficulties many autistic people face. We also work closely with businesses, local authorities and government to help them provide more autism-friendly spaces, deliver better services and improve laws.
Why we need you
Our out of school club supports children and young people with Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism between the ages of eight and 18. The club offer children and young people the opportunity to join a structured youth group which meets their needs and provides a safe environment

We seek applications from anyone interested in the role, but particularly welcome applications from those on the autism spectrum
