Job Description
Location: Primarily remote - with ability to travel regularly to London and other locations in the UK as necessary.
Salary: £60-65k pro rata, plus your share of the annual operating bonus as an employee-owner. As a guideline figure, we anticipate some 22.5 hours/week initially, equivalent to three working days. We’ve always worked very flexibly as a team, and your outline working pattern will be agreed with you at the outset.
Overview: We're a proudly neuroinclusive organisation entering an exciting new chapter as a fully employee-owned organisation. With our founder and director stepping into retirement, we’re searching for a passionate MD to lead us through this next phase of our evolution: someone who combines strategic vision with a collaborative, human-centred approach to clients and colleagues alike.
If you value neurodiversity, are committed to inclusive leadership and want to champion a truly unique organisation that is fully client-centred, we’d very much like to hear from you. You don’t need to tick every box: it’s your passion, your alignment with our values, and the desire to make a difference which matter most.
About AS Mentoring Ltd
ASM has a distinctive ethos which provides holistic support for neurodivergent people to achieve their goals, primarily but not exclusively in the context of employment (both finding and retaining work). We partner with neurodivergent jobseekers and employees and a wide range of employers, organisations and charities to offer a strengths-based, person-centred approach which gives our clients the opportunities to thrive which have often been denied to them. Our services include personalised 1:1 support for individuals, regular group and workshop events, and employer training and consultancy. You will be heading up an established team of mentors and two service leads who have a strong commitment to our clients and to the wider cause of workplace diversity and inclusion.
About the Role
ASM transitioned to full employee ownership at the beginning of April 2025, as the main component of the founding Director’s exit strategy. We are now looking for a dynamic and entrepreneurial MD to lead the organisation through its next phase of growth and impact.
