ASN Support Specialist

A short-term, project‑funded role supporting a new 10‑week pilot programme for autistic children, made possible through the Boshier Grant Scheme administered by the National Autistic Society.

P/T Role – ASN Support Specialist
Fee: £250 per day - 8 hours per day (10 days across the programme – total £2,500)

An opportunity for the right person to work in a compassionate, creative and inclusive environment.

We are looking for an ASN Specialist with experience supporting autistic children and young people, to help create a calm, adaptable sensory space where participants can regulate, express themselves and engage in drama‑based activities.

You will support a drama facilitator to deliver structured and accessible sessions that include visual timetables, non‑verbal aids, consistent routines and activities built around participants’ interests. A parent/carer support group will run alongside the classes, fostering wider community connection.

This is a new role and an exciting opportunity to help shape a programme that we hope will continue beyond the pilot.

We are keen to hear from people with a strong understanding of autism, sensory needs, and child‑centred support who can help us reduce isolation, build confidence, nurture friendships and support wellbeing.

• Children feel understood, respected and safe in the space.
• Participants develop communication skills, emotional understanding and confidence.
• Families feel supported, welcomed, and connected.
• A calm, regulated sensory environment is maintained throughout the project.
