Role
Highland Perthshire PLUS is your local Charity (SC053712) that works to support people with additional support needs (ASN) and/or disabilities and their families to enable them to Play, Learn, Unite and Shine in Highland Perthshire.
The charity does this by working to create housing, employment, training and volunteering opportunities as well as improving local access to social and sporting opportunities.
We define Highland Perthshire as the area outlined by the Perth & Kinross Council Highland Ward and additional areas surrounding the catchment for Breadalbane Academy, thus reaching as far as Dunkeld, Amulree and Strathbraan.
Highland Perthshire PLUS currently works in conjunction with Perth and Kinross Disability Sport to provide free sporting activities such as swimming, boccia, and football at Breadalbane Campus. Highland Perthshire PLUS also runs Supported Volunteering at Dalweem for working age adults with an additional support need or disability, working on gardening in the warmer months and cooking and crafts in the winter.
Highland Perthshire PLUS is committed to understanding the needs of the people it serves. The organisation invites individuals to share their insights, helping us to shape services that truly reflect their priorities and aspirations.
We can only do this with your help, and it is our job to listen to your needs and respond to them. Please get in touch with the team with any queries or concerns at info@hpplus.net.

We are looking for a highly motivated Autism Co-ordinator to join our Transition Services team, focused on delivery and development of our Enterprise project.
Despite their desire to work, recent statistics tell us that nationally only 3 in 10 autistic people are in employment (The Buckland Review of Autism Employment, UK Government, 2024), and through our Transition Services at Perth Autism Support, we aim to change that narrative locally through both our Enterprise project, supporting autistic teens aged 14-16 years and our Employability project, from the age of 16-24 years.
As part of our wider Transition Services, you will be central to the successful delivery of a high-quality young person focused service providing a fun, meaningful programme of Enterprise projects to develop early employability skills:
1. Increased confidence
2. Teamworking
The role of Autism Co-ordinator is to lead the planning, preparation and delivery of our Enterprise programmes, using local networks and connections to look for development opportunities to continue to develop the service, whilst supporting our wider Employability work.
You will be an ambassador for Perth Autism Support, building relationships across the community to further our vision to support autistic children and young people to reach their full potential.
About Us
Perth Autism Support was founded in 2011 to address the gaps in support for autistic children, young people and their families across Perth & Kinross.
In 2024, we have over 1200 families registered for services and support children, young people and families through the following service areas:
1. Children’s Services
2. Transitions Services (encompassing three project areas – Engage, Enterprise and Employability)
3. Family and Education Services (including our Early Years project and Autistic Adults Peer Support)
We are governed by a Board of Trustees (7) and we have a staff team of 32.
We are based in our centre in Perth City but work across the whole of the Perth & Kinross region.
