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.

Trustees commit roughly 6 hours monthly, guiding strategic direction, ensuring effective governance, promoting equality and inclusion, and serving as ambassadors for MGWT’s vital work.
Because everyone should have good health, resilience and opportunity.

JOIN US!
The Climate Coalition is recruiting for two new trustees to join us. We are in a strong position as an organisation both internally and in terms of the critical role we are playing in our sector but there is always more to do and we are looking for people who can support and challenge us as we think about our next five years of progress. We have an experienced Board already and are open to recruiting people who have never served on trustee boards before (as well as those that have).
We are looking for people who have patience as well as drive and are drawn to the opportunities that come with coalition working. You will get to sit alongside some incredible people within the team and Board and bring your insight, thoughtfulness, support and challenge to help us do the best job we possibly can.
We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in the climate sector and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We are particularly keen to receive applications from candidates who identify as Black, Asian or minority ethnic. We do not require applicants to have previous trustee experience; instead we are looking for people who will devote the time and energy required to help us achieve our ambitious aims at a critical time for the climate sector.
We hope that this will be a valuable opportunity for people who are looking to make change in the world, who are deeply committed to building a broad coalition of people and groups connected to action on climate change, and want to develop their own skills and experience.
WHO WE ARE
The Climate Coalition came together over 20 years ago and has grown to become the UK’s biggest group of people dedicated to action on climate change, with a combined supporter base of more than 22 million people. We encompass over 130 organisations spanning nature, environment, international development, faith, health, community and women’s groups – from the National Trust, WWF, the Women’s Institute, to Islamic Relief as well as local climate groups.
People are powerful when they come together: The Climate Coalition platforms and mobilises collective action for climate and nature; develops shared insights and narratives; and provides shared infrastructure to bring organisations together, to channel their collective action and create the space for sustained political change.
This is an exciting time for the Coalition as we adapt to meet the changing needs of the climate sector. Over the past few months we have refreshed our ideas about how we make a difference in the world (see our website for more details), and are reviewing our governance and how we make decisions.
WHAT WE NEED
We are looking to add a number of new trustees from either within or beyond our membership organisations. We are seeking trustees who will be bold and brave; who can contribute strategically across a wide variety of issues and who will support and challenge the Board and Executive Director in its drive for change.
We are able to provide access to support and training for first time trustees or those who feel they want to build their confidence/understanding in the role of the trustee.
Whether you work in the climate sector or in a different sector entirely, this is a chance to play a meaningful role in the UK movement. It is not just another governance role; it’s your chance to volunteer for an organisation with an outsized role in, and responsibility for, the climate movement as a whole.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience of community organising.
WHAT WE WOULD ASK OF YOU
As a trustee we would expect you to get to know us as an organisation and build a strong understanding of the aims of The Climate Coalition and work collectively with the Chair, the other Board trustees and the Executive Director to help ensure that the Coalition does all it can to fulfil its potential.
Specifically, as a trustee you will be responsible for ensuring it:
-
fulfils its strategic objectives as set out in our agreed strategic framework;
-
is well governed and abides by relevant laws and regulations (training is provided and you do not need to be a legal expert to do this role);
-
thinks carefully about how it recruits and how it spends money so that it has the necessary resources, both material and human, to operate effectively and deliver against our mission;
-
prioritises EDI in decision making.
Your commitment will be to:
-
attend our AGM as well as 6 x 2-3 hour trustee meetings per year, of which at least ⅔ will be via zoom, and to pre-read all relevant papers;
-
support our anti-oppression agenda and take part in or contribute to our trainings; as well as our main Board, over time all trustees will also have the chance to sit on and/or lead working groups particularly where you have specialised experience/skills, and attend other meetings where necessary;
-
to review our executive reports that detail how we are doing as and be aware of, and abide by the responsibilities of a charity trustee as set out by the Charity Commission.
Salary: The role is unremunerated though reasonable travel expenses will be paid.
Time commitment: Approximately 1-1.5 days/month
Location: Remote (anywhere within the UK). Occasional travel to London.
The Climate Coalition is the UK's largest group of people dedicated to action against climate change.

Trustees have a duty to ensure that the charity is well run, solvent, legally compliant, and working towards the charitable purpose for which it was established, and Trustee roles are an important and a highly rewarding way to support an organisation. Please note that Trustee roles are unremunerated voluntary positions, although reasonable travel expenses will be paid.
The League of Remembrance is committed to equality of opportunity, supports, and encourages under-represented groups, and values diversity. We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, who will bring a fresh perspective to the Board, and having reviewed existing Trustee's diversity, skills, and experience, LOR are keen for the Board to reflect the diversity of the communities that they work with and therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community.
