Role Overview

Your core delivery will be:

1-hour Neurodiversity Awareness sessions (interactive, practical, accessible)
3-hour Role-Based Deep Dive workshops (manager and HR-focused, scenario-led, highly practical)

What you will deliver:

1-hour Neurodiversity Awareness Session (up to ~50 participants)

Strengths-based introduction, common neurodivergent profiles, and how traits show up at work
Practical adjustments and inclusive day-to-day behaviours
Interactive exercises + Q&A, with slides and participant resources
Lunch & Learn / Webinar format

3-hour Role-Based Deep Dive (typically 15–20 participants)

“Beyond awareness into action” for managers/HR: spotting early signs of struggle, supportive conversations, reasonable adjustments, boundaries, escalation, and performance conversations
Grounded in UK context: Equality Act and reasonable adjustments (in practical terms for managers/HR)
Scenario-led, using examples shaped through scoping and the client’s operational reality

Key Responsibilities

Deliver high-quality virtual (and occasional in-person) training sessions aligned to NDUK standards and tone
Join a short scoping call or briefing (when required) to tailor scenarios and ensure relevance
Confidently facilitate sensitive discussions (disclosure, adjustments, capability/performance, stress, conflict) while keeping sessions psychologically safe
Keep delivery accessible: clear structure, manageable segments, inclusive facilitation, and practical takeaways
Provide post-session feedback to NDUK (what landed, what questions came up, recommended follow-on support)
Follow NDUK policies and client requirements (confidentiality, data protection/GDPR, EDI expectations)

Candidate Overview

Essential experience and capability

Strong facilitation skills with managers and/or HR audiences (virtual delivery included)
Applied understanding of workplace neurodiversity and practical reasonable adjustments
Confidence navigating UK workplace realities (line management, HR process, risk, wellbeing, employee relations)
Ability to adapt content without diluting evidence base or slipping into generic “DEI” delivery
Professional, warm, non-judgemental approach that keeps sessions human and usable

Desirable (not required)

Coaching background and/or experience supporting neurodivergent adults in work contexts
Qualifications in coaching, psychology, HR, learning & development, OD, counselling, or related practice
Experience delivering to regulated, operational, or high-pressure environments (healthcare, public sector, frontline ops)

Associate model / practical requirements

Self-employed (sole trader or limited company) with ability to invoice
Professional indemnity insurance (and public liability if delivering in-person)
