Clients experience our autistic teams first-hand, achieving diversity goals and filling talent gaps with a low-risk and untapped workforce.
The extraordinary talents of our consultants are what makes Unicus unique – their cognitive diversity allows them to bring new perspectives to what are often seen to be unsolvable problems. By creating positive work environments and offering highly individualised sustained support to autistic employees, Unicus provides its corporate clients with a means to tap into the amazing talents of autistic people while creating long-term careers for its team.

Unicus’s consultants and clients are supported by our job coaches who ensure that the consultants’ work environments enable them to deliver to their full professional potential. Our job coaches promote inclusion and wellbeing and are integral to making sure our consultants feel supported in their assignments. Most importantly they provide clients with support and information regarding autism in the workplace and can convey feedback between the client and the consultant.
Our Job Coaches typically have a background in clinical psychology, performance coaching, managing anxiety disorders, special education, and vocational rehabilitation.
