Who we are
Re-Vision is a registered charity. It is a small, not for profit counselling and psychotherapy training organisation providing outstanding, in-depth training with a soulful perspective.

We are keen to find trustees willing to help us with these challenges. We are particularly keen to involve people with financial or marketing skills, and people who have been involved in facilitating or helping small organisations faced with the challenge of retaining core values during periods of change. This is an exciting period of change for Re-Vision and could be a good time for those with experience in strategic planning or change management to get involved, even if only for a fixed term.

You will care about understanding our culture and values and enjoy the challenge of helping this organisation continue to thrive.

UKuhamba
Ukuhamba produces lightweight, custom-made, and affordable prosthetics using 3D printing technology to improve the lives of amputees living with disabilities, restoring their independence and dignity.
Ukuhamba aims to address several social and environmental challenges such as:
- Limited access to prosthetic devices: Many individuals in Africa, particularly in rural areas, lack access to prosthetic devices due to high costs, limited infrastructure, and a shortage of trained personnel.
- Social stigma associated with disability: People with disabilities, especially amputees, often face social exclusion, stigma, and discrimination, which can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and depression.
- Economic burden of disability:The lack of access to prosthetic devices can result in significant economic burdens on individuals and communities, limiting their ability to participate in education, employment, and community activities.
- Environmental impact of prosthetic production: Traditional prosthetic production methods can have a significant environmental impact, which Ukuhamba aims to mitigate by using recycled materials, such as plastic water bottles, in their 3D printing process.
Ukuhamba addresses social and environmental challenges in several ways:
- Increasing accessibility to prosthetics: They provide affordable, custom-made prosthetic limbs to individuals with physical disabilities, particularly in South Africa where access to these devices is limited. Currently, only about 30.5% of individuals in need have access to prosthetics.
- Reducing stigma associated with disability: By infusing fashion into their prosthetic designs, Ukuhamba aims to empower users to proudly showcase their prosthetics, challenging societal stigmas surrounding disability.
- Environmental sustainability: Ukuhamba utilizes recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, in their 3D printing process, reducing waste and promoting eco-friendliness.
- Empowering individuals with disabilities: Their prosthetic solutions enable individuals to regain independence, mobility, and dignity, allowing them to participate more fully in daily life activities and contribute to their communities.
- Promoting inclusivity: By providing low-cost prosthetics, Ukuhamba bridges the gap for underprivileged individuals who cannot afford these devices, fostering greater inclusivity and social equality.

You know what it's like to practice as a solicitor. You've navigated the pressures, the culture, and the unspoken expectations. Now, imagine using that hard-won understanding to create meaningful change for neurodivergent colleagues who are struggling to find their place in our profession.
We're looking for a qualified solicitor who gets it - someone who can help us build programmes and campaigns that will work because they're grounded in the reality of solicitor practice.
Why does this role need to be solicitor-only?
We need someone who understands the culture, systems, and pressures of solicitor life from the inside. The work involves shaping strategy, influencing decision-makers, and ensuring our programmes reflect the real experiences of neurodivergent solicitors. A qualified solicitor brings both lived experience and professional standing, which helps build trust and makes our work more effective. This isn't about hierarchy, but about grounding the role in practical, credible experience that resonates with the people we're trying to help.
What we're looking for
We need a qualified solicitor who can be our eyes and ears within the profession - someone who understands not just the law, but the culture that surrounds it.
Your background might include:
-
Current qualification as a solicitor (England and Wales)
-
Real experience working in or with solicitor firms and organisations
-
Understanding of how solicitor practice works - the good, the challenging, and everything in between
-
Genuine commitment to making the profession more inclusive for neurodivergent colleagues
-
The ability to communicate with everyone from trainees to senior partners
What would be brilliant (but not essential):
-
Experience across different types of solicitor practice - private practice, in-house, government, legal aid
-
Personal understanding of neurodiversity challenges in professional settings
-
A network of contacts within the solicitor profession
-
Background in training, mentoring, or professional development
-
Experience in charity/not-for-profit law, employment law, or disability rights
What you'll be doing
This isn't about sitting in meetings talking theory. You'll be:
Being our solicitor reality-check:
-
Sharing insights about profession culture, challenges, and opportunities that only an insider would know
-
Helping us identify the real barriers neurodivergent solicitors face and practical solutions that might work
-
Ensuring our initiatives make sense in the context of how solicitor firms actually operate
Shaping our strategy:
-
Contributing the solicitor's perspective to our programme development
-
Advising on the best approaches for engaging with firms, training providers, and professional bodies
-
Helping develop resources that work in real solicitor practice environments
Being our face in the profession:
-
Representing us at solicitor-focused events and networks
-
Building relationships that open doors and create opportunities
-
Speaking at events and contributing to professional discussions where your voice carries weight
Developing what matters:
-
Advising on training and support programmes that solicitors will actually use
-
Helping create career guidance that reflects modern solicitor pathways
-
Supporting research and policy work that affects how solicitors practice
The need-to-know
Time commitment: Around 4-8 hours per month - one monthly trustee meeting plus the solicitor-specific work, and the occasional extra task that crops up.
Term: We're looking for a minimum 2-year commitment initially, which then becomes a rolling 1-year term subject to the constitutional requirements.
When we meet: We will be setting our meeting dates at the start of the organisation's year (October 2025) so everyone can plan ahead.
Next steps:
-
Applications close: 5 September 2025 at 17:00
-
Interview dates: TBC - dependent on application numbers
-
Next board meeting: TBC
Why this role matters
The legal profession is slowly waking up to neurodiversity, but too often the conversation happens without the people who actually understand day-to-day practice. We've seen well-meaning initiatives fail because they don't reflect the reality of billable hours, client demands, and firm hierarchies.
Your perspective as a practising solicitor isn't just valuable - it's essential. You know which ideas will work and which ones will gather dust in the diversity folder. You understand the language that resonates with partners and the approaches that will actually make a change.
What we offer in return
-
Real influence: Your insights directly shape our strategy and programmes
-
Professional development: Gain charity governance experience and expand your network
-
Meaningful impact: See your profession become more inclusive for future generations
-
Supportive environment: Work with a committed team that respects both your time and expertise
-
Flexibility: We’re a team of working professionals and always work around professional commitments
-
Recognition: References, recommendations, and opportunities to speak on topics you care about
-
Expenses covered: We reimburse reasonable costs related to your trustee work
We're committed to inclusive recruitment and welcome applications from all backgrounds. If you need any adjustments to our application process, just let us know.
Application deadline: 5 September 2025 at 17:00
Raising awareness, providing support, and reducing the stigma surrounding neurodiversity in the legal profession.
