BeyondAutism is a non-profit organisation, driving change in the world of autism education to ensure autistic children and young adults access an education which empowers a life full of choice, independence and opportunity. We do this by creating positive educational experiences, training for the professional team around a child, and information, resources and support for families and carers. We are experts in delivering autism education services from pre-school to 25.

BeyondAutism started as The Rainbow Charity in 2000, when a group of parents, led by Founder Karen Sorab, set up Rainbow School. We started with just 3 pupils in a run-down pre-fabricated hut on the grounds of Beatrix Potter School in Wandsworth.

Since then the charity has undergone a remarkable transformation, growing exponentially in response to need. We now deliver education to pupils from 16 London Local Authorities from our Early Years’ service to our Post-19 Provision.

Everyone at BeyondAutism shares in the vision and values of the organisation and work together every day to empower autistic children and young adults.

Whether you’re at the start of your career, or looking to take it to the next level, we have a range of opportunities for everyone. We also have a number of term-time only positions for those returning to work after a career break or managing child-care.

We invest heavily in our staff, and you will receive comprehensive training and support throughout your career with BeyondAutism.

We deliver rapid and sustained outcomes in our Early Years’ service by working with parents and children together. Empowering parents to feel resilient and confident in meeting the needs of their child leads to aspirational, informed choices creating a positive and successful step into primary education.

Our schools and Post-19 service have a specialist curriculum that ensures sustained success beyond the age of 25, setting children and young adults up with the skills and independence to lead a life of their choosing.

Children with an EHCP are up to six times more likely to be excluded for a fixed period or permanently than pupils with no special educational needs.¹ The majority of these pupils will have autism alongside other communication and learning difficulties.

We’re activating networks and building local capacity with our solution focused Outreach team; and our unique Fast Responder service is working at the point of crisis to change the national picture and reduce school placement breakdown.
