Autistic Parents UK (APUK) is a national Disabled People’s Organisation led by and for autistic parents. We are entering an exciting new phase of development and are looking for a Strategic Development & Growth Lead to help shape and strengthen our future.

This is a senior, strategic role within a small but ambitious charity. Working closely with our Board of Trustees and Services Lead, you will drive organisational growth, secure sustainable funding, and build partnerships that expand our reach and impact. You will play a key role in ensuring APUK continues to support autistic parents  across the UK while remaining firmly rooted in autistic-led, neuro-affirming values.

About the Role

You will lead on developing and delivering APUK’s organisational strategy, identifying opportunities for sustainable growth, and strengthening systems and infrastructure. A key focus of the role will be developing and implementing income generation strategies, including securing grants, building partnerships, and exploring new funding opportunities such as training and commissioned services.

You will also oversee marketing and communications strategy, helping raise APUK’s profile and engagement with communities, partners, and stakeholders. Alongside this, you will support internal development, including governance, monitoring and evaluation systems, and supporting the charity’s expansion as it grows.
The role is subject to a basic DBS check. 

About You

We are looking for someone with strong experience in strategic development, organisational growth, or income generation within the charity or not-for-profit sector. You will be a confident communicator with a proven track record of securing funding, building partnerships, and delivering strategic initiatives.

You will understand and be committed to Disabled People’s Organisation principles, neurodiversity, and the social model of disability. 

You will be comfortable working collaboratively in a remote, values-led organisation and able to manage priorities strategically within a part-time role.

Why Join Us?

APUK offers a supportive, autistic-led working environment with flexible working arrangements and opportunities for professional development. This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in shaping the future of a growing national organisation and making a direct difference to autistic parents and their families.

We are committed to inclusive recruitment and particularly welcome applications from autistic, neurodivergent and disabled people, individuals from racially minoritised communities, and LGBTQ+ applicants. We are happy to make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.
