Who we are:

The National Autistic Society is the UK’s leading charity for autistic people. Since 1962, we’ve been transforming lives, changing attitudes and helping to create a society that works for autistic adults and children.

We transform lives by providing support, guidance and practical advice for the 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, as well as their three million family members and carers. Autistic people turn to us at key moments or challenging times in their lives, be it getting a diagnosis, going to school or finding work.

We change attitudes by improving public understanding of autism and the difficulties many autistic people face. We also work closely with businesses, local authorities and government to help them provide more autism-friendly spaces, deliver better services and improve laws.

We have come a long way but it is not good enough. There is still so much to do to increase opportunities, reduce social isolation and build a brighter future for people on the spectrum. With your help, we can make it happen.

What we can offer you:

  • Pension scheme
  • 25 days annual leave
  • Excellent induction, training and development programme including training about autism and opportunities to attend our conferences
  • Online staff discount scheme for a range of benefits (cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan)
  • Access to a 24-hour employee assistance programme

Who we are looking for:

Our commercial offer, is vital for our charity to continue to not only train and develop professionals who support autistic people, but also to bring in vital funds to support our wider charitable work. 

We have ambitious plans and targets, and we are looking for a brilliant new Bid Writer and Project Officer to support us to grow our commercial income by responding to public sector tender opportunities for training, consultancy, accreditation and other services we can deliver in the health, education and social care and sectors as well as local and national governments. 

We are looking for an outstanding bid writer – a real specialist who knows exactly how to write winning responses. This person will follow through to ensure contracts are awarded and delivered on in time and to budget.
