Who we are:
The National Autistic Society is the UK’s leading charity for autistic people. Since 1962, we’ve been transforming lives, changing attitudes and helping to create a society that works for autistic adults and children.
We transform lives by providing support, guidance and practical advice for the 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, as well as their three million family members and carers. Autistic people turn 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.
We have come a long way but it is not good enough. There is still so much to do to increase opportunities, reduce social isolation and build a brighter future for people on the spectrum. With your help, we can make it happen.
What we can offer you:
1. Auto-enrolled pension scheme
2. 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
3. Excellent induction, training and development programme including training about autism and opportunities to attend our conferences
4. Online staff discount scheme for a range of benefits (cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan, shopping discounts etc)
5. Healthcare Cash Plan & Life Assurance
6. A portfolio of salary sacrifice and other flexible benefits at reduced costs
7. Access to a 24-hour employee assistance programme & an Headspace App
