At Key2Confidence, we specialise in helping children and young people to understand their neurodiversity, harness their strengths and support their challenges.
Following growth, we’re now looking for freelance autism mentors for teens and young adults to deliver services in-person in Worcestershire and online.
Successful applicants will join our small, friendly team to provide mentoring and personalised support programmes online and in clients’ homes.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for people who are as passionate about helping to meet the diverse needs of neurodivergent children and young people as we are!
If you have demonstrable experience mentoring and delivering tailored support to autistic and ADHD students and you:
- Have that special quality that allows you to build and maintain mutually respectful and trusting relationships
- Want a freelance, flexible role that fits around family commitments

- Have lived experience of neurodiversity (perhaps your own or that of a close family member)
- Have access to your own age appropriate resources
- Are willing to work during the holidays, when necessary
- Are happy to travel to deliver in-person support
This could be the role for you!
About us:

Benefits:
This freelance role offers a generous hourly rate (dependent on experience). Supervision and support is included to ensure we maintain our consistently high standards of service delivery and professionalism.
This flexible role will allow you to work around the school run if required. Weekend work is optional.

We’re looking for empathic, resourceful and non-judgemental people who have a good sense of fun and humour as well as integrity.
You will also need to be:
- Dedicated
- Trustworthy
- Professional
- Friendly
- Flexible
- Intuitive
- Punctual
Don’t forget, prior experience supporting neurodivergent teens/young adults is essential.
