Professional added value due to autism spectrum profile

​

Passwerk's services are based on the qualities of people with an autism spectrum profile. It is precisely because of their autism spectrum profile that this group of people has exceptional qualities that are very valuable in the context of the services we offer to our clients. Passwerk communicates openly to the outside world—including our clients—that our consultants all have an autism spectrum profile and a normal to high aptitude.

​

Place of employment

​

The majority of our assignments are carried out on site, i.e. on location with our clients. In exceptional cases, assignments can also be carried out from one of our offices in Berchem (near Antwerp), Brussels, Hasselt or Roeselare. Passwerk strives to ensure that the one-way commute to an assignment is no more than one hour. Many of our clients are located in the Brussels region, but assignments are also carried out in the Flemish regions.

​

Preparation of the assignment

​

Before a consultant is deployed for a new assignment with a client, a job coach will perform a site survey. Both the environment in which the assignment will be carried out and the corporate culture of the client are mapped out. This allows us to make a good estimation of the stimuli that may be present. We take this information into account when choosing the most suitable candidate. This decision will also include an evaluation of which consultant is best qualified for the new assignment in terms of technical profile.

If desired, before the assignment begins, your job coach will accompany you on the journey by public transport to the client and assist you in getting acquainted with your future work environment.

​

Successful start

​

To ensure a successful start, your job coach will be present at the start of the assignment.

​

Job coaching

​

Our job coaches are experienced in working with people with autism and have knowledge of software testing. As a TRplus consultant, you will be assigned an individual job coach who will monitor you throughout your employment at TRplus.

Your job coach will provide bespoke guidance and support. You can always contact your job coach yourself, but he or she will always contact you during the first few weeks of a new project:

​

• Daily (via email or telephone), to get a measure for any stresses/uncertainties;

• Every week or fortnight, the job coach will visit your workplace for an interview. This will give you the opportunity to identify issues, indicate bottlenecks, discuss specific situations, etc.

• The job coach will also have weekly or fortnightly contact with your regular contact person at the client's location. It is the goal of every job coach to make sure that you can work in optimal conditions.

TRplus

​

After we have found a specific assignment for you, you will be offered an employment contract by TRplus as a software developer.

TRplus is the sister company of Passwerk that was founded in 2017 with the key objective of employing software developers with autism. We rely on almost the same success model as Passwerk. However, since 2019, the software developers (TRplus) in our external communication are fully integrated in the Passwerk offer.

Place of employment

The majority of the assignments for which our consultants are deployed are carried out on site at the client's premises. Some assignments are also carried out from one of our own offices in Berchem (near Antwerp), Brussels, Hasselt or Roeselare. Quite a few of our clients are based in Brussels, but assignments are also carried out in other Flemish regions.

You will frequently travel—by train or with your company car—to clients to prepare an assignment or follow up with the consultants during the assignment. At other times you will work from home or from our offices in Berchem, Brussels, Hasselt or Roeselare. Introductory interviews with new candidates, assessment and technical training for our consultants take place in Berchem, Brussels, Hasselt or Roeselare.

​

Learning by doing

​

Working as a job coach in an economically relevant and growing company involves a wide range of tasks and assignments. As a result, not everything about the job is immediately obvious on the first day of work. This makes the initial familiarisation and training period crucial to being able to work with all facets of job coaching within Passwerk.

To be able to carry out your job successfully after this familiarisation and training period, the following characteristics are important:

​

• Good basic knowledge of software testing;

• Competencies related to working in an economically relevant context and that may differ slightly from working in a normal healthcare setting;

• Able to transfer information about autism, both qualities and limitations, independently and clearly to third parties;

• Able to communicate constructively with Passwerk's end clients and partners;

• Receptive to commercial arguments and reality;

• Act according to commercial principles that focus on quality, quantity and profitability;

• An eye for the balance between the consultants' well-being and the client's expectations of Passwerk's services.

​

In consultation, you will also be able to follow additional training courses, participate in seminars, attend peer-to-peer coaching moments, etc.
