Scottish Autism, in partnership with NHS Tayside, is looking for a Peer Support Worker to join the Tayside Adult Autism Consultancy Team (TAACT). This is an exciting opportunity to bring lived experience to provide support and contribute to the development of neuroaffirmative services that are centred on the needs of autistic adults across Tayside.
As a Peer Support Worker within TAACT, you'll work alongside a team of specialists in their areas, including psychology, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and psychiatry. You will support with the facilitation of post-diagnostic support, co-develop resources and groups, and strengthen the voice of autistic people in how services are shaped and delivered.
If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help us make autism services more inclusive and empowering for everyone.
Key Responsibilities
* Co-design and run post-diagnostic groups and individual resources
* Offer one-to-one peer support to adults open to TAACT
* Help create clear, accessible peer support pathways
* Ensure neuroaffirmative practice is embedded in daily work
* Contribute to the wider redesign of NHS Tayside's neurodevelopmental pathway
* Support service evaluation and improvement
The Company
Scottish Autism is one of the largest providers of autism-specific services in Scotland, with a commitment to a social model of support. You'll be employed by Scottish Autism but embedded within NHS Tayside's TAACT team - a small, specialist team offering diagnostic assessments, interventions, and consultations for autistic adults across Tayside. TAACT is committed to ensuring that all aspects of their services are responsive to the needs of the individuals they support.
The Person
We're Looking For Someone Who
* Has lived experience of autism
* Understands the value of peer support and autonomy
* Communicates clearly and with empathy
* Can work both independently and as part of a team
* Is confident using IT and keeping records
* Is comfortable travelling within the Tayside area
* Holds a relevant SVQ Level 3 qualification
* Experience of working within healthcare or with multidisciplinary teams is helpful but not essential - we're more interested in who you are and the perspective you bring.
