Work with me
I work alongside neurodivergent people in work as a dedicated support worker. I keep track of what you're missing, spot problems before they become crises, and help you actually get things done. Not by doing it all for you, but by being the steady presence that makes it possible for you to do it.
This service is available as a monthly retainer and can be funded in full or in part through your Access to Work grant.
Start by filling in a short form. It takes 5 minutes!
What I actually do
-
Accountability check-ins
Regular structured check-ins to review what's done, where you’re stuck, and what to focus on next. I use my intuition and pattern recognition to notice what you're not saying as much as what you do. This is the non-negotiable core of how we work together, as without it, everything else falls apart.
-
Email and inbox management
Monitoring your inbox, flagging what needs your attention, and making sure nothing important gets buried. I read between the lines, notice when something doesn't look right, and will often spot a problem in your inbox before you do.
-
Deadline and task tracking
Keeping an eye on what's coming up and checking in before things get forgotten. I pay close attention to patterns. If the same thing keeps getting missed or pushed, I'll name it and we'll figure out why.
-
Calendar wrangling and meeting coordination
Booking across multiple people and calendars, managing clashes, preparing agendas, taking notes, and following up on actions afterwards. I'm genuinely an expert at this, and it's one of the things I find satisfying to do well!
-
Meeting preparation
Making sure you go into meetings prepared and come out with clear next steps. I'll help you think through what you need, prepare materials, and make sure nothing gets lost or forgotten in the aftermath.
-
Document and task support
Creating documents, reviewing and proofreading work, building realistic to-do lists, and drafting things you need written. I'm an expert proofreader and I communicate clearly in writing, making this one of my strongest suits.
-
Tech and systems admin
The background stuff that never gets done: setting up accounts, managing tools, sorting out systems that don't work for you. I love systematising things and I'm expert at spotting where a broken process can be made much simpler.
-
Proactive problem-spotting
Paying attention to what's happening across your work and raising things before they become a crisis. I notice patterns others miss and I'll often suggest a solution you hadn't thought of, not because I think there’s a problem with how things are being done, but because it's genuinely how I see the world.
Your retainer buys my time, presence, and attention, not a fixed list of deliverables.
Accountability check-ins are always included because they're the structure that makes everything else possible. Everything else is shaped around what you actually need and what we can realistically fit into the hours you have. We work that out together.

What clients say

"Every team needs a Max. Having someone who just pays attention and actually remembers what I said last week... that's not something I've had before."

Why Max?
Max Wayne, Neurodivergent support worker and ATW consultant
Hi, I’m Max, and I’m autistic. That's the most important thing to know about why this service works. I don’t just understand neurodivergent working styles professionally, but live them myself. The things that trip you up at work, the executive dysfunction, the masking, the way admin can completely shut you down... I know what those feel like from the inside, not just from a textbook.
Before setting up my consultancy, I spent years working as a VA and operations support for neurodivergent-led organisations. What I found again and again was that the most valuable thing I brought wasn't just dealing with their tasks, but the way I paid attention to their needs. Noticing the email that didn't look right. Flagging the pattern nobody else had spotted. Suggesting the simpler way of doing something before the complicated way became a crisis.
I’m also an expert at navigating Access to Work, which means I understand how to document and justify support worker hours in a way that works with your grant. If you're using ATW funding for this service, you're getting someone who knows exactly how to make this support worker relationship work within the system.
Working with a neurodivergent support worker who is themselves late diagnosed neurodivergent changes how support feels completely. You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to mask. You don't have to justify why something that seems small is actually enormous. I get it, and will often have already noticed before you say anything. x
“My presence in your working life makes it possible for you to do your work. That’s not a small thing.”
