Every day, neurodivergent people in the legal profession face misunderstanding, outdated assumptions, and well-meaning but misguided "support."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.
Raising awareness, providing support, and reducing the stigma surrounding neurodiversity in the legal profession.

Yoga Stops Traffick is an international campaign to raise awareness of and funds for survivors of human trafficking in India. We are seeking 2 volunteers to help us improve and evolve this campaign.
What will you be doing?
Yoga Stops Traffick is an international campaign run by UK registered charity Adventure Ashram to raise awareness of and funds for survivors of human trafficking in India. Every year thousands of yoga practitioners from all corners of the globe roll out their mats, from the UK to Iceland to Costa Rica, to stand in solidarity with young survivors. The funds raised from Yoga Stops Traffick help rescue and rehabilitate survivors of human trafficking, sexual and domestic violence, modern-day slavery, and child marriage.
We are seeking 2 volunteers to improve the Yoga Stops Traffick campaign. We've been running this campaign for many years now but sadly despite the campaign's great potential, it has been less and less successful each year. We need some creative marketing and social media experts to help lift this campaign back to its full potential.
Main responsibilities of the role:
• Bring your creative social media and marketing ideas to the team to help us think of new ways to increase awareness of Yoga Stops Traffick to yoga studios and teachers in the UK and worldwide, and help us develop plans to turn these ideas into well-executed action.
• Use your corporate partnerships experience to advise us on the best ways to develop new corporate partnerships - help us identify the best potential partners for the campaign and develop plans for approaching them and developing those relationships.
• Help us plan our social media activity to increase our reach, improve our engagement levels and ultimately drive the success of this campaign.
• If you are experienced using Wordpress and skilled at improving SEO that would be an added bonus - our website has terrible SEO and ranks badly and we no longer have the skills in-house to know the best way to improve our website. However, if this is not part of your skill-set but you can improve our general marketing and social media plans - we would still be grateful for your help!
• Provide other administrative support as needed (this could include website updates, creating marketing materials, sending campaign emails, responding to campaign-related enquiries)
What we offer in return:
• A supportive team to work alongside
• The knowledge you are making a real difference to a small charity that is struggling in the current climate
• Invitation to Adventure Ashram / Yoga Stops Traffick events
Requirements of role:
• Ideally a commitment of approx. 6-12 hours per week
• Equipment you need: Laptop/PC, Internet Access
What are we looking for?
We are looking for creative social media and marketing experts whose ideas and experience will take this campaign to the next level.
Experience in running social media campaigns and creating engaging content is essential for this role.
Excellent written communications is essential for this role.
Experience using WordPress and knowledge of SEO would be very useful - though not vital.
Experience building and developing corporate partnerships for fundraising purposes would be very helpful.
More than anything, we are looking for people who are passionate about making a difference! We would like you to commit to the role until the end of April 2026, with the possibility to extend beyond this.

Use your expertise to shape education, influence communities, and grow as a leader. Roles available at colleges England.
Are you a business leader or corporate professional looking to make a meaningful impact outside the boardroom?
By becoming a volunteer governor at a further education (FE) or sixth form college, you’ll help shape the strategic direction of an organisation that transforms lives through education and skills—while strengthening your own governance experience and leadership credentials.
Why it’s relevant to professionals like you
Further Education colleges train over 1.6 million learners annually, preparing the skilled workforce that keeps our economy moving—from engineers and IT specialists to healthcare professionals and construction experts.
As a college governor, you’ll sit on the board of an FE institution (and registered charity), where your insight into strategy, risk, people, or finance will have a direct impact on how public funds are spent, how performance is measured, and how learners are supported to succeed.
This is an opportunity to:
- Apply your corporate skills in a charitable leadership role
- Gain board-level experience and enhance your CV
- Contribute to local economic growth and social mobility
- Support a vital sector during a time of transformation
What you’ll do
As part of a governing board, you’ll:
- Set strategic direction: Help define the college’s mission and goals
- Hold leadership to account: Monitor finances, performance, and outcomes
- Ensure governance excellence: Make decisions in the best interests of learners and stakeholders
- Act as a charity trustee: Ensure financial sustainability and legal compliance
You’ll also engage with senior leaders and external stakeholders, including local employers, regulators, and community partners.
Who we’re looking for
We welcome professionals from a broad range of sectors, including but not limited to:
- Finance, Audit & Risk
- HR, People & Culture
- Strategy, Transformation & Operations
- Technology, AI & Digital
- Legal, Governance & Compliance
- Marketing, PR & Communications
- Education, Apprenticeships or vocational courses
What matters most is your strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and commitment to helping others succeed.
Prior education experience is not required. Full induction and training are provided, with access to DfE-funded development and peer mentoring where needed.
Time commitment
Expect to give approximately 1–2 days per month, including:
- Attending board and committee meetings (in-person or remote)
- Reading papers and preparing questions
- Participating in training and occasional college visits
The time commitment is manageable alongside a full-time role—and many employers actively support staff to take on governance roles as part of their professional development.
Where you’ll be needed
Some colleges offer remote governance and meetings take place online. This may suit you best, or we may suggest a role where you volunteer on a hybrid basis at a college within a reasonable distance from you. We are recruiting governors for colleges across England, with new opportunities added regularly.
What’s in it for you?
· Enhance your board-level and governance experience
· Develop strategic oversight and leadership outside your day-to-day role
· Expand your professional network
·Give back in a way that creates long-term, measurable impact
· Gain exposure to the education, charity, and public sectors
Ready to step into a strategic, purpose-driven leadership role?
