Call to help charity - Specialisterne

Open-access content Friday 25th September 2015

Call to help charity - Specialisterne

I am a UK trustee of an international social enterprise called Specialisterne, which aims to help those on the autistic spectrum to find meaningful work. Specialisterne will match these individuals to jobs where attention to detail, adherence to structure and greater creativity are considered a competitive advantage.

The UK operation is at an early stage, but has already secured contracts with EY, Microsoft and the BBC. Our actuarial contacts have suggested that many of the skills discussed match those required in your industry, and I appeal to your readers to get in touch if they can support our work. Specialisterne can offer a flexible working arrangement and will train and support individuals before and after placement. Many companies are recognising the benefits of being more inclusive and diverse in their recruitment, as well as the social good involved. Earlier this year, The Guardian published an article about one of our consultants (bit.ly/1aJJdKy).

I hope that your readers will find this interesting, and I urge them to visit our website (uk.specialisterne.com) for information.
