Are you passionate about helping people?
Become an Autism Help Volunteer to provide vital information and advice to autistic people and their supporters when they need it most.

- join a compassionate, supportive team
- gain valuable skills with expert training
- volunteer from home with flexible hours

We welcome applications from anyone with lived experience including autistic people and those who support them, but this isn’t essential for the role.
What is Autism Help?
Autism Help is an umbrella term for the charity’s advice and guidance provision. The enquiry and signposting service is a key part of this provision and is delivered by trained volunteers and staff who help autistic people live a fulfilled life on their terms by having access to the information they need, when they need it.
“Thanks ever so much for sending this information. It's really helpful and very reassuring. I feel like I've been listened to and understood - this means a lot to me.”
