Full job description

Autism Independence | Bristol (community-based role)

We’re looking for an Outreach Youth Worker / Social Navigator with direct experience supporting autistic young people or those with a learning disability to deliver one-to-one, community-based support within a small, purpose-driven CIC.

This role is ideal for someone who is relationship-focused, person-led, and confident supporting young people with complex needs in real-life settings (not just group or centre-based work).

About us

Autism Independence supports families from ethnically diverse communities in Bristol who have an autistic young person or a learning disability.

We help young people and families navigate services, overcome barriers, and build confidence, independence and connection within their communities.

The role

You’ll work directly with young people aged 14–25, providing long-term, person-led support to help them:

Build confidence and independence
Navigate services (education, health, housing)
Advocate for themselves and make informed choices
Access opportunities in their community

This is not a short-term or group-only support role - you’ll build ongoing, trusted relationships and support young people at their own pace.

What you’ll be doing

Providing1:1 outreach support in community settings
Supporting young people in meetings, decisions and systems
Delivering group activities and workshops when appropriate
Helping young people build independence and self-advocacy
Working with families and community networks
Keeping accurate records and contributing to reporting
Using trauma-informed, culturally competent approaches

About you

We’re looking for someone who:

Has direct experience working with autistic young people and/or those with a learning disability (professional or lived experience)
Is confident building trusting, long-term relationships with young people
Understands person-led, strengths-based and rights-based work
Can adapt communication styles to different needs and backgrounds
Has a good understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries
Is comfortable workingflexibly in community settings (not just office-based)

This role may not be for you if

You only have experience in schools, classrooms or short-term interventions
You prefer structured, centre-based or group-only youth work
You are not comfortable working one-to-one with young people in community settings
You do not have experience supporting young people with additional needs

Desirable experience

SEND, EHCPs or transitions to adulthood
Group facilitation or peer support
Working across cultures or with multilingual communities
Lived experience of disability, neurodivergence or caring

Key details

Location: Bristol (community-based, some office/home working)
Hours: 20 hours per week (flexible, including some evenings/weekends)
Salary: £13,218.40 (£24,791 FTE equivalent)
Contract: Fixed-term (4 years, subject to funding)
DBS check required

Why join us?

Build meaningful, long-term relationships with young people
Work in a small, values-driven organisation
Make a visible difference in underserved communities
Training, supervision, pension and holiday included

Apply

Please email [email protected] for the full job description and application form.

Closing date: Friday 12th June 2026

Pay: £12.71 per hour

Application question(s):

1. Do you have direct experience supporting autistic young people or young people with a learning disability?

2. This role involves providing one-to-one support to young people in community settings (not just group or centre-based work). Are you comfortable with this?
