Every day is different, whether it be offering autism specific information and advice, listening to lived experiences, or helping families and professionals support others to navigate the wider support landscape.

About you: • Lived experience and/or autism practice, with the knowledge to apply theory into practice. - Contemporary knowledge and understanding of autism, autistic people and their families across the lifespan. - Experience of supporting complex situations where a person might be experiencing heightened levels of distress or confusion. - Active listening skills and able to respond empathetically. - Provide enabling support to empower autistic people and their families. - Ability to translate complex theoretical knowledge into accessible and practical advice. - Ability to work in a diverse range of environments to deliver and facilitate support appropriate to the needs of different audiences, such as autistic people, or parents and carers. - Ability to self-manage and organise diverse workstreams. - Have sound knowledge of education, health and social service contexts across Scotland as they apply to autistic people and their families. - Share Scottish Autism’s values: Collaboration, Compassion, Change Makers, Contribution.
