Who we are looking for
The National Autistic Society offers a student support service across Scotland for autistic individuals in higher education, providing support to enable them to achieve their academic potential.
The NAS Student Support service is tailored to the individual needs of students, providing the support they need to help them through college or university. Specialist Mentors provide 1:1 support, advice and guidance to students during regular (usually weekly) sessions.
Most students encounter challenges when entering a new academic and social environment and our Specialist Mentors offer support in various areas including: managing change, disability awareness, emotion management, relationships and boundaries, timetabling and structure, presentation skills and group work, and independent learning skills.
Specialist Mentors provide individualised support to students in higher education and will therefore need to be confident, motivated and resourceful. The successful candidate will be a university graduate with first-hand knowledge of the higher education environment, and experience of working with autistic individuals. We are looking for an excellent communicator who is able to prioritise their work to meet the needs of their students.
Where will you be working?
As a Specialist Mentor you will be responsible for supporting students at higher educational institutions in the named location. Ordinarily student support sessions are delivered in person at the student’s university or college, but in some cases we provide support online.
Hours of work
This is a bank agreement with no fixed hours. You will be paid for your support hours and allocated administrative time as well as any additional hours for training, supervisions, meetings etc.
