Every day, neurodivergent people in the legal profession face misunderstanding, outdated assumptions, and well-meaning but misguided "support." We're building something different - a charity that gets the science right, speaks with authority, and creates change based on evidence rather than good intentions.
We need someone who understands what neurodiversity really is - professionally, academically, maybe personally, to be our compass and our credibility.
What we're looking for
We need a neurodiversity specialist who can be our knowledge foundation - someone whose expertise ensures everything we do is grounded in current understanding and best practice.
Your background might include:
-
Professional expertise in neurodivergence through psychology, neuroscience, education, occupational therapy, or related fields
-
Deep knowledge of current research and evidence base around neurodivergence
-
Understanding of the real challenges neurodivergent people face in professional environments
-
The ability to translate complex concepts into language that lawyers (and everyone else) can understand
-
Genuine commitment to making the legal profession work better for neurodivergent people
What would be brilliant (but not essential):
-
Hands-on experience working with or advocating for neurodivergent individuals
-
Academic qualifications or research experience in relevant areas
-
Knowledge of workplace adjustments and inclusive employment practices
-
Understanding of career progression challenges in professional settings
-
Experience in education, training, or public awareness work
-
Personal lived experience of neurodivergence (valued but not required)
What you'll be doing
This isn't about lending your name to our letterhead. You'll be actively shaping everything we put out into the world:
Being our quality control:
-
Reviewing all our educational materials, resources, and communications to ensure they're factually accurate
-
Keeping us current with evolving research and best practices
-
Making sure our language is appropriate, respectful, and up-to-date
-
Helping us spot and counter misinformation before it takes hold
Guiding our strategy:
-
Providing specialist input on how we approach neurodiversity promotion in the legal profession
-
Advising on the most effective methods for raising genuine awareness and understanding
-
Supporting the development of educational programs that actually work
-
Identifying where we can make the biggest impact
Building our credibility:
-
Helping establish partnerships with respected neurodiversity organisations, researchers, and experts
-
Supporting our reputation as a source that legal professionals can trust
-
Advising on collaboration opportunities with academic institutions and healthcare professionals
Supporting our people:
-
Providing guidance to our neurodivergent volunteers in their advocacy work
-
Ensuring volunteer-led initiatives are built on solid understanding
-
Advising on accessible and inclusive team management practices
The need-to-know
Time commitment: Around 4-8 hours per month - one monthly trustee meeting plus the specialist input that makes the difference, 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 finally starting to talk about neurodiversity. But too often, the conversation is happening without the depth of understanding it deserves. Myths persist, outdated language gets used, and initiatives are built on shaky foundations.
Your expertise doesn't just add value to our work - it protects the people we're trying to help from being let down by another well-meaning but uninformed initiative.
What We Offer in Return
-
Real influence: Your knowledge directly shapes our approach and ensures our impact is positive
-
Professional recognition: Work with a charity that's building a reputation for getting it right
-
Meaningful connections: Network with other professionals who share your commitment to evidence-based change
-
Flexibility: We’re a team of working professionals and always work around professional commitments
-
Support: Join a board that values expertise and provides genuine collaboration
-
Development opportunities: Expand your governance experience and charity sector knowledge
-
Recognition: References, recommendations, and opportunities to speak on topics you care about
-
Expenses covered: We reimburse reasonable costs related to your trustee work
Whether your expertise comes from clinical practice, academic research, educational settings, or lived experience combined with professional knowledge, if you care about ensuring neurodiversity initiatives are built on solid foundations, we want to hear from you.
Application deadline: 5 September 2025 at 17:00
We're committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and welcome applications from all backgrounds. If you need any support with your application, please let us know.

About us:
The Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London (RAMFEL) is one of the largest immigration and asylum advice charities in the UK, supporting refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants to access justice. An OISC level 3 accredited organisation, we represent clients at all stages of the immigration and asylum process, up to and including the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber.
We also actively campaign for a fairer and more humane immigration system. RAMFEL caseworkers therefore have the opportunity to work on systemic and strategic challenges and support broader advocacy work.
We particularly welcome and encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals, and those who are migrants or refugees, and who have lived experience of the impact of UK immigration policy and/or of rough sleeping. This includes individuals with direct experience or experience gained through supporting family members with the challenges posed by immigration and asylum practices- those who have been or could have been clients of RAMFEL.
Purpose of the role:
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that the Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London (RAMFEL) achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that RAMFEL has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the CEO and senior management to enable us to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
Duties:
- Support and provide advice on RAMFEL’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
- Review and approve organisation strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their effective and efficient implementation.
- Oversee RAMFEL’s financial plans, budgets, and statements, and monitor and evaluate progress
- Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
- Provide support and challenge to RAMFEL’s management team in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs.
- Keep abreast of changes in RAMFEL’s operating environment.
- Contribute to regular reviews of RAMFEL’s own governance.
- Contribute to the broader promotion of RAMFEL’s objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.
As a small charity, there will be times when trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings and sub-committees. This may involve providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, reviewing or advising on operational documents (e.g. operational and business plans, new team structures, outreach and engagement events) or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.
What we are looking for
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. We are furthermore particularly looking for those who can contribute one or more of the following:
- Migrants or refugees, who have lived experience of the impact of immigration policy and practice
- Expertise in RAMFEL’s core service delivery, especially regarding advice, immigration or legal services
- Networking and fundraising ability
- Experience of campaigning and/or external communications
- Organisational and administrative skills
Previous governance experience is desirable but not essential and we will provide a full induction to the organisation and the workings of the Board.
This is a fully voluntary and unpaid position. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursement.
Please refer to the job description for more details and application instructions.
If you are interested in the Trustee role and would like more information, we would be pleased to arrange an informal discussion with our CEO or one of our current Trustees.
We will only be shortlisting candidates who have submitted a CV and a cover letter explaining their interest in the role will be shortlisted.
Shortlisted candidates will first participate in an informal chat, followed by a formal panel interview.
RAMFEL is a charity that supports vulnerable migrants to access justice and that provides vital support in moments of individual crisis.

Are you passionate about building a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient economy? Are you looking for a meaningful way to use your finance expertise?
ECU is a small, dynamic non-profit working to transform the economy so that everyone has the freedom and security to live a good life.
ECU’s board members are responsible for ensuring that ECU is well-run and delivers on our ambition to accelerate the transition to a fair, sustainable and resilient economy. They are responsible for fulfilling the legal duties of a Company Director, as set out by Companies House. Although ECU is not a charity, it is focused on delivering a public purpose, so most aspects of the role are similar to that of a charity trustee role.
We are now recruiting for ECU’s first Treasurer, who will lead at board level on monitoring ECU’s financial performance and sustainability, ensuring that we have robust financial policies and processes in place, and supporting other board members to fulfil their collective responsibilities around finance.
This is an exciting time to join ECU. We have an ambitious vision for change, a strong analysis of the opportunities and barriers to progress, and a clear view of our role in building a better economy. Our board is committed, collaborative and inclusive, with a strong understanding of its role and remit, and a culture of open dialogue. Our work is challenging, fascinating, and fulfilling – and, with rising levels of inequality, an unfolding climate emergency, overstretched public services and a growing concentration of corporate power, it couldn’t be more important.
