Family Support Hub Coordinator

Hubs provide a regular meeting point for families affected by autism, where they can access activities for children, as well as offer support, specialist training and advice for the parents and carers that attend.

Please be aware, we are unable to accept applications from candidates who have restricted hours, and we are unable offer sponsorships.

If you have experience of being involved with services that support families and children with autism and you would like to work flexibly, these may be the roles for you. The posts offer the opportunity to be involved in this exciting project. Hub Co-ordinators will work closely with and under the direction of the Parent Engagement Co-ordinator to maintain and develop these services. Some knowledge of these local areas would be advantageous.
