Role

Scottish Autism seeks to promote and provide care, education, support and opportunities for autistic people of all ages throughout Scotland.

Scottish Autism’s Values are:

  • Collaboration – we work with others and value their opinions
  • Compassion – we work with each other and our service users with care and kindness
  • Change Makers – we never stand still, we move positively forward always focussed on quality and being the best
  • Contribution – we love what we do, we never lose sight of our purpose and the difference we make in society

We are currently looking for an Community Advisor to join our existing team at the Fife One Stop Shop. The service is managed by Scottish Autism and funded by Fife’s Health and Social Care partnership.

This post will involve working with the One Stop Shop Service Manager to ensure the delivery of a range of information, advice and post diagnostic support services for people with autism, families, carers and interested professionals.

In this role you will promote awareness and understanding of the needs of autistic individuals across the spectrum among professionals and the wider community. You will be required to maintain relevant resources that are accessible and available to One Stop Shop users and identify gaps in any information resources and formulate actions to ensure the needs are met. You will deliver and facilitate a range of programmes to individuals, families and professionals as directed by the One Stop Shop Service Manager.

The successful candidate will have a degree level qualification in health, education or social care or other relevant qualification, along with extensive knowledge and experience of supporting individuals across the autistic spectrum. The ability to demonstrate a sound understanding of ASD and related issues are essential to this post. You will have good communication skills and be highly organised. Motivation is required along with the ability to work with limited supervision to meet deadlines.
