Location & Ways of Working:

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

Are you a proactive, collaborative and compassionate individual with a proven track record working with neurodiverse adults, delivering effective support that has resulted in positive outcomes?  Do you have strong awareness and understanding of the demands of issues arising from ADHD/Autism in the workplace and experience advocating with internal or external stakeholders on behalf of people with neurodiversity?

If so, join St Giles as our Neurodiversity Support Worker, where you will play a crucial role in supporting a staff member with a diagnosis of Autism and ADHD, working one-on-one to understand their individual needs, strengths, and challenges, and creating a tailored support plan.

About St Giles Trust
An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need.  Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.

About this key role

As a Neurodiversity Support Worker, you will assist with a range of duties, including deconstructing complex information – helping the staff member process and understand complex documents, policies, or project briefs and completing research tasks.  You will provide hands-on support with workload management, scheduling, and digital organisation alongside writing up notes, acting as a liaison and advocating with colleagues and internal departments such as HR, IT, and Finance to ensure appropriate adjustments and inclusive practices are implemented and all policies and procedures are followed.

We will also count on you to maintain accurate records, provide person-centred holistic support to the staff member, help them process and deconstruct complex information and assist with administrative, organisational, and time management tasks.  Acting as an advocate for the staff member, collaborating with the wider team to share best practice and attending and positively engaging with all mandatory training are all also vital aspects of the role.

What we are looking for

• Strong understanding of neurodiversity, including Autism and ADHD, and associated barriers to engagement and wellbeing
• A relevant qualification in neurodiverse support services, or another related field, OR demonstrable equivalent professional experience
•  Awareness of the challenges faced by neurodiverse people in a professional environment, how to address these challenges and how to connect to wider networks of support.
• Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and communication skills, verbal and written
• A professional, collaborative and flexible approach to your work
