Engagement & Culture Specialist Role

The Transforming Autism Project is a brand-new charity focusing on very early intervention for children with autism.

Our goal is to truly transform lives through our life-changing Mifne Treatment Centre (details here) and our unique online Hub of comprehensive guidance, support, education and community for parents of autistic children.

We also challenge conventional perceptions of autism and offer our own radical and empowering perspective. This can be seen in our TED talk, which has now been viewed by well over 80,000 people.
To find out more about our goals, values and activities, please view our brochure.
We are currently at a very early stage in our development, but are looking to make fast progress to make our projects viable and help as many families as soon as we can. To that end, we are looking to create a team of capable and dedicated volunteers to ensure our success.

The HR function of the charity is incredibly important to the overall success of the Transforming Autism Project. The HR Team is key to ensuring our people (employees and volunteers) are recruited, retained, engaged and managed in a way which respects our values and culture.

We have taken great care in the development of our charity’s values, and aspire for these to be evident in the way we work. As an Engagement & Culture specialist, you will be working towards ensuring that every member of the charity understands and demonstrates our values in all aspects of their work, and feels happy, enthusiastic and valued as part of our team.
We are looking for volunteers who can bring their expertise to help us find and implement ways of creating an amazing culture in the charity, including the following:
• Input into and develop the wider culture strategy for the charity
• Collaborate with the recruitment team to embed our values into our recruitment process
• Create case studies of how we live our values – what does it look like? How do we know we are living our values?
• Work towards gaining quality standard accreditations, e.g. Disability Confident and other volunteer/workplace based awards
• Input into and develop engagement activities across the charity.

You will be passionate about the changes we are trying to make and their impact in the world of autistic children. You may even be (or be related to) the parent of an autistic child.

You will be a natural at making things happen and feel excited and energised at the prospect of driving them forward, and constantly looking for new ways to help progress the charity.

You will possess the confidence, positivity and determination to achieve your goals. We are a strongly values-driven organisation, and are committed to manifesting our values in how we relate to each other, in what we are trying to achieve and in how we do it.
The Transforming Autism Project value diversity and we're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone is able to be themselves and to reach their full potential.
