Autistica

Who we are

Autistica is the UK's leading autism research and campaigning charity.

Our vision is a world where every autistic person lives a happy, healthy, long life.

Our mission is to enable breakthroughs that make that happen by funding research, shaping policy and working with autistic people to make more of a difference.

We have created a set of visionary and ambitious goals to enable a better future through autism research:

1. By 2030 all autistic people will have proven support from day one

2. By 2030 the employment rate for autistic people will double

3. By 2030 autistic people will have proven treatments for anxiety

4. By 2030 public spaces will be more accessible for neurodivergent people

5. By 2030 every autistic adult will be offered a yearly, tailored health check

6. By 2030 attitudes to autistic people will change

We look forward to welcoming talented and ambitious people to help us achieve these goals.

We welcome applications from everyone. Applicants with lived experience, those who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ), people with a disability, or those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are actively encouraged to apply.
