About us:

Diversified is an award-winning autistic youth led charity supporting autistic and neurodivergent 10- to 21-year-olds in West Lothian and surrounding areas. We are the first charity in Scotland exclusively designed and led by young people who are autistic themselves, giving a unique insight into the challenges young people face and the support we can give them. All our services combine a range of wellbeing and social activities to enable young people to build friendships with like-minded peers, reducing isolation and giving neurodivergent young people a safe space to be their “au-thentic” selves. It is a no pressure environment with no judgement, which allows young people to go at their own pace and participate in a way that works for them. We provide dedicated facilities at our hub in Livingston, including sensory spaces specifically designed by autistic young people.

About the role:

We are seeking compassionate and committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees. Our Trustees help to guide Diversified, by keeping us on track and making the big decisions, to ensure we effectively support the needs of our community as we grow and expand.

About you:

We’d like to enhance our Board to better reflect the diverse individuals and young people we support, so we welcome applications from all backgrounds. Some examples of the experience or expertise you may bring include, but are not limited to:

• A passion for advocating the needs and rights of autistic and neurodivergent young people.
• Experience or familiarity in governance or the voluntary sector.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, embracing these skills from different neurotypes.
• Law and legal.

You may bring different skills and strengths – more important is your passion to use your skills and experience, as well as supporting us on our journey.

Key responsibilities:

• A passion and willingness to attend regular board meetings and contribute to strategic planning.
• Collectively oversee our finances and ensure effective budgeting.
• Be ambitious and help our growth, not only in our community, but across Central Scotland.
