Opportunities
Volunteer, develop, collaborate and help shape Neurodivergent Arts CIC.
Neurodivergent Arts CIC is building a creative network shaped by lived experience, community voice and shared opportunity.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to develop their strengths, interests and professional aspirations. We recognise that access to training, experience and creative careers has not always been equal for neurodivergent people, so we are creating supported pathways that help people grow, contribute and progress in ways that work for them. We are interested in hearing from people who may want to volunteer, develop as creative facilitators, train towards employment coaching, work with us as freelance artists or facilitators, or support the CIC through our Community Voice Forum.
We are happy to have a conversation about what feels possible, what support may help and where your interests could fit.

Volunteering
Volunteering is an important part of the Neurodivergent Arts CIC pathway. Many of our volunteers first connect with us through a group, programme or creative project and choose to stay connected.
Volunteering can become a natural progression route, and a way to build confidence, develop transferable skills and explore future opportunities.
Volunteering may include helping with creative sessions and events, preparing materials, welcoming participants, supporting exhibitions, contributing ideas or documenting activity.
Creative facilitator development
Neurodivergent Arts CIC is interested in supporting neurodivergent creatives, volunteers and emerging facilitators to develop confidence, professional skills and leadership through creative facilitation. We recognise that opportunities to access professional development have not always been equally available, and we are committed to creating supported routes that help people build experience, confidence and sustainable careers.
Creative facilitator development may include mentoring, co-facilitation, planning support, reflective practice and opportunities to contribute to live projects.
Freelance artists and facilitators
We are interested in connecting with freelance artists, creatives, writers and workshop leaders who may want to work with Neurodivergent Arts CIC on community, culture, wellbeing or employability projects.
Freelance opportunities depend on funding, programme needs and project fit.
Community Voice Forum
Neurodivergent Arts CIC is shaped by lived experience, community voice and shared learning. We are looking for people who would like to support the CIC by sharing ideas, reflections and honest feedback as the organisation grows.
This is a lighter-touch way to get involved. You do not need to become a director, trustee or formal committee member. You might simply have lived experience, professional knowledge, community insight or a connection to the people and places our work supports.
