Workplace: Who's in your meetings? - Jennifer Glass, out of school co-ordinator, National Autistic Society, Scotland, Dundee

1 min read
What exactly do you do? I manage the Stepping Stones after-school club in Dundee. I am also the facilitator of the adult Asperger syndrome social group, and take overall responsibility for the eight to 12 and 12 to 18 age groups we run within Dundee.

Describe a typical day. I work Monday to Friday, 1pm to 7pm. Most of this time is spent running the after-school club, ensuring children, staff and parents are happy with the service. Every second Thursday we go out on a social group event.

What other agencies, and who else within your own organisation, do you work with? I work with the local schools that the children attend, colleges where we assist students, local agencies and inclusion groups from the voluntary sector, such as Barnardo's, and social work representatives who require respite care for their clients.

How did you end up in the job?
