About Us:
Appeer is a Community Interest Company (CIC) set up to deliver services that support autistic girls and women (and those assigned female at birth) to connect with peers, to develop their life/work skills and to support their wellbeing. We provide in person and online activity groups and programmes, alternative provision, events and resources for those in the community that we serve, their parents/carers and other professionals. We are not a therapeutic setting and as such do not offer clinical support or 1:1 supervision. We were established in 2019 and have since grown rapidly from a small startup to a robust small-medium enterprise with a turnover of £250k and serving well over 400 beneficiaries a year.
All our work is firmly rooted in a ‘positive peer approach’, providing an enjoyable, pressure-free and beneficiary-centred space for connecting with others and exploring interests and hobbies in a place they can truly be themselves. We also facilitate light touch exploration of autism and the discovery and sharing of helpful tools and approaches for navigating the neurodivergent experience.
Our aim is to safeguard and enhance our beneficiaries’ wellbeing, build on their strengths, foster peer support and social networks and promote a positive outlook, whilst never dismissing the challenges they may face. We categorically reject a deficit-based view of neurodivergence and work on the basis that all brains are different and deserve equal respect, freedom and scope for expression.
Appeer is led by lived-experience staff and volunteers, and we strive to maintain an inclusive, supportive and creative working environment where everyone feels supported to do their best.
Application Process:
Interested candidates are invited to submit a CV and cover letter outlining their interest, suitability and vision for the role by 5pm on 12th August 2024. We encourage early application as we reserve the right to close the application window sooner than 12th August 2024 if a suitable shortlist of candidates has been identified.
Appeer is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We are also committed to ensuring a fair and equitable recruitment process for all vacancies.

Appeer has been set up to benefit autistic girls and women and those around them due to a lack of support, provision and understanding.

THE CHARITY
Unfold is led by the people we serve, and we get people where they want to be. We’re a bold, agile and growing organization, with a friendly, energetic and welcoming team. As an established local charity, we’re powered by volunteers who support young people and families to identify and achieve goals that matter to them. We provide mentoring and peer support groups to people in Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea and the neighbouring boroughs.
We’re open to everyone, but we target those who face the most challenges: 93% of the people we work with describe themselves as coming from a racialized group, 85% of the families we support are single-parent households headed by a woman, and 75% of the children we support are eligible for free school meals. We also run specialized programmes of support for people seeking asylum and those with refugee status. Last year we provided one-to-one mentoring to over 246 people, and group support to a further 252 people. With increasing demand for our services, we expect to provide direct support to over 350 individuals in the coming year.
In our programme of support for parents, we have two primary programmes, a ‘Mentoring for Mothers’, for women with children aged 5+, which aims to improve well-being, confidence, connectedness and reduce loneliness. We also run Women’s Support Groups, which are friendly, relaxed spaces for women to meet, socialise, share challenges, offer support to one another and find out about services that meet their needs.

Who we are:
As an award-winning charity, KEEN exists because children and adults with disabilities and additional needs are still not fully included in their communities, and this has to change! We create our own inclusive programme of sessions and projects for our children and adults to support and empower their development, assisted by our enthusiastic, friendly and active volunteer team, support other organisations to make their own provision open to all, and campaign more widely for a fairer inclusive society.
The Role:
Our Project Coordinator for In-Person activities in Oxford is a key leadership role at the heart of our sociable and fun team. You will coordinate all aspects of our inspiring and unique in-person session programme with six sessions a week spanning gardening to sports, recruit and support our exceptional volunteers, and be the primary contact for them and our community.
Each day as the KEEN Coordinator is very different. In one day, you might be a guest speaker in a local school or business, then running a Zig-Zag dinosaur themed crafts session for our under 10’s, before training new volunteers in adaptations they could use in our young adult’s drama session. On another day you might be in meetings with the local authority about enhancing inclusivity, finalising a KEEN fundraising application and then attending a volunteer social in the evening.
If those sounds like worthwhile days that you could see yourself making the most of: you could be our new Programme Coordinator.
