London Autism Group
London Autism Group is a charity dedicated to helping anyone in London and its neighbouring Boroughs with an interest in Autism. We began with a Facebook group, to offer advice and support to those who came to us. It is now a thriving hub for the London Autistic Community where people can come to seek assistance with whatever questions they have, or to connect with other similar members of the Community.
At London Autism Group Charity, we bring a wide range of targeted support, to eventually offer help at every stage of an Autistic person's life.
With the dedication of our volunteers, staff members, and partners, we strive to improve the lives of everyone who needs help within our community.
Please note: This opportunity is only open to people living in London. We will only accept applications with a London postcode.
About Us
London Autism Group Charity is a not-for-profit organisation devoted to serving the Autistic Community of London and surrounding Counties in the UK. Led by Autistic individuals and compassionate allies, we draw on lived experience to provide support at every stage of an Autistic person's life. Offering both Mental Health and Material Support to Autistic individuals and Carers, our profound commitment is to make a positive impact in the autistic community. We are currently looking for committed Volunteers to join our team and contribute to achieving our goals.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Position Description
We are actively seeking committed Volunteers for our Befriending services. This service aims to provide friendship for autistic people (16+) living in the London area. To do this we match one of our volunteers with the person accessing this service to enable them to have contact with someone via messaging or in person. This has been a popular service since lockdown. Please note that all applicants must be UK-based. London Autism Group Charity is an equal opportunity employer, welcoming candidates from all backgrounds. This is a volunteer position, and we deeply appreciate your support in advancing our mission.
