RNRMC is looking to recruit a Neurodiversity Navigator to join the Grants team in an exciting new role.
We are looking for an experienced neurodiversity practitioner who may be looking for a new challenge pioneering and championing this exciting new role. It would suit someone who has worked at a management level in a Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) environment, and has experience of signposting and project management.
The RNRMC support anyone who is serving, or has served, and their families for life. Serving can be challenging, especially for the families. Add neurodiversity into the mix and it can be extremely difficult to manage. Following some discovery work by our Commissioning team, it was identified that RNRMC could enhance support around neurodiversity in the military. Parents told us about the challenges they faced and described the support they needed. One key request was to have a single point of contact who could help signpost them to appropriate support.
We are therefore offering an exciting new role as a Neurodiversity Navigator, working in the heart of the Royal Navy with serving personnel and their dependents. Whilst the focus will be on families, the Navigator will be available to help all service personnel and those transitioning from the service. The Neurodiversity Navigator is a key role in our support around neurodiversity in the military. The post holder will help set up a system for signposting (including researching resources and support offers, information and communication, systems and processes), manage different tasks and workstreams, and offer supported signposting. We hope through this role, more of our people will feel enabled to identify themselves, reducing isolation, improving parent’s mental health and wellbeing, and share knowledge and resources.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and experienced individual to join our lively, passionate, and welcoming team. The role will be varied, and you will play a key part in making a significant difference to the lives of Royal Navy personnel and their families.
