About the Role

The Advonet Group is seeking an organised and motivated AIM Coordinator to join our Leeds and Bradford and Craven Autism AIM team. This is a rewarding and varied role supporting autistic adults who do not have a learning disability diagnosis and receive little or no funded support.

You will work collaboratively with autistic adults to identify their needs and goals, provide advocacy and coordination support, and link them with services and opportunities across the third and public sectors.

As an AIM Coordinator, you will:

• Work alongside autistic adults to co-produce and shape the service.
• Complete needs assessments to provide person-centred support.
• Coordinate referrals and booking systems to ensure people access the right support.
• Provide direct support to help people communicate their needs and achieve their goals.
• Liaise with partner organisations to deliver joined-up support.
• Collect and analyse data to evidence the impact of the service.
• Promote accessibility, equality, and inclusion in all aspects of your work.
• Maintain accurate and timely records using internal systems.

This role involves both remote and in-person work, with around eight in-person meetings per month across Leeds, Bradford and Craven.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about empowering autistic adults and committed to person-centred and strengths-based practice.
• Experienced in working alongside autistic adults in advocacy, support, or coordination roles.
• Skilled in building relationships and working collaboratively with individuals and partner organisations.
• Organised, reliable, and able to manage a varied workload effectively.
• Confident using IT systems, including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint).
• Knowledgeable about autism, accessibility, and barriers to services faced by autistic adults.
• A strong communicator who can adapt to different needs and communication styles.

Desirable:

• Personal or relational experience of autism.
• Knowledge of local services and community resources in Leeds, Bradford, and Craven.
