About the Role

At auticon UK, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Information Technology space, Empowering autistic talent, transforming workplaces, building inclusive futures..

auticon is an IT Consultancy and Social Enterprise whose mission is to address the inequalities in employment for neurodivergent adults. We aim to provide long-term career opportunities for autistic adults, who we employ as IT and Data Consultants. They then deliver high-quality services to our clients. If you’re not familiar with how IT Consultancies operate, read more on our blog.

We always want to hear from autistic people with strong tech and data skills who would like to join us.

We recruit new Consultants based on available project opportunities, aligning our hiring needs with client demand. As a result, we encourage interested candidates to register their interest and complete a few initial questions to determine whether they meet our general criteria.

Registering your interest is not an application for a specific role; instead, it allows you to share your CV and become part of our talent pool. Once in the talent pool, we continually review your skillset against client opportunities and initiate our recruitment process when a suitable position becomes available.

As an auticon Consultant, you become a permanent employee of auticon, but most of your day-to-day work will be with one of our clients. You’ll add skills and expertise to the client’s team or project.

Most of our clients are large multinational organisations who require expertise in areas such as:

- Data analysis

- Data visualisation

- Data engineering

- Cyber security

- Machine learning or AI

You get the chance to work on interesting assignments with our clients, whilst still having all the support of being an auticon employee. When you’re between projects, your employment with us continues. This means you receive your salary and all the ongoing benefits of being an auticon employee such as our valuable coaching provision, whilst we support you to further develop your skills.
