Board Trustee
Reference: SA1216
Scottish Autism’s vision is an inclusive world where difference is embraced and autistic people thrive. Established in 1968 by a group of parents, the organisation has gone from strength to strength and is now the largest provider of autism specific services in Scotland as well as being a leading authority and advocate for good autism practice.
Scottish Autism has its own innovative Centre for Practice, Policy & Research and we have a strong national and international reputation for our expertise and change-making approach.
Two new trustees are needed to strengthen and contribute to our existing board and support our management team, in realising our charitable objectives and strategic priorities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
