Inclusive recruitment
We are committed to being inclusive in all we do, including when we recruit new team members. We welcome applications from anybody who believes they have the skills and experience outlined in the advertised job descriptions.
We actively encourage applications from candidates who are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, are disabled and/or are from minority ethnic backgrounds.
As part of our commitment, we want applicants’ recruitment experiences to be positive. Please contact us to request any adjustments you need for the application or interview process.
Disclosure of disability or requests for reasonable adjustments will not impact the selection process.
We have worked with autistic people and inclusive recruitment specialists to develop every stage of our recruitment processes. However, there is always more to learn, so if you have suggestions for improvement, please let us know.
However, we do need multi-skilled people with a passion for autism and we want to be more flexible in how we recruit team members.
Instead of designing fixed roles, we’d like exciting conversations with people who are interested in joining us.
We’re happy to discuss short, contained projects, job trials, longer-term roles, and any ways of working that can help deliver our mission.
If you’re well-versed in all things autism, from lots of perspectives and not just your own, this could be you.
