Perth Autism Support has been providing support to autistic children and young people under the age of 18 in the Perth and Kinross area for the past 12 years. They work closely with many different voluntary organisations to provide a number of social activities, information, support and advice. They strive to ensure that autistic children, young People and their families have access to quality services at a time that is right for them. This charity is very aware that a diagnosis of autism not only affects the individual, but the whole support network of that child/young person which is why they also offer sibling support and programmes for the whole family.
Perth Autism Support’s approach is to ensure that autistic children, young people, and their families have access to quality services at a time that is right for them whether the individual has a diagnosis of autism or are on the pathway for assessment. Every week, an average of 240 young people seek help from Perth Autism support and there are more than 870 families registered from their services.
Great things are happening at Perth Autism Support and now they are looking for a new Income Generation Manager to join the team. This is a new role which will oversee the fundraising function in line with the organisation Income Generation Strategy. You will work to ensure income maximisation for all areas of service whilst line managing the Community Fundraising Officer and the Trust and Foundations Officer.

Supporting our partners to transform lives and restore the dignity of the most excluded and marginalised, our work contributes to a culture of human flourishing in a war-torn region. We help our partners to sustain the declining presence of Christians serving the needs of the vulnerable in Middle Eastern societies, without regard to faith or background.
Ours is a vision of love in action: where there is a need – for refuge, a home however temporary, for health care, for education, for safeguarding, for economic empowerment, for justice and human rights – we, with and through our partners, want to respond.
