Governance & Compliance Stakeholder (Volunteer Board Member)

Neurodivergent Arts CIC is a neurodivergent-led creative health organisation in its first year.  We would love to hear from you if you would like to help us be part of a small Stakeholder Board to help us lay strong, sustainable foundations. 

We aim for at least 75% of our Stakeholder Board to be neurodivergent or have close lived experience of neurodivergence (for example, as a parent/carer or family member). If you are an ally with these skills and share our values, we’d love to hear from you too.

This voluntary Governance & Compliance role will suit someone who enjoys keeping things tidy and on track. You’ll help us maintain simple governance systems so we can grow safely and transparently.

You will:

• Keep a light governance calendar and action log up to date
  
• Help maintain key registers (directors, policies, insurance, DBS, conflicts)
  
• Support us in recording clear minutes and decisions
  
• Turn requirements (e.g. Companies House, funder conditions) into simple checklists and templates

We’re looking for around 8+ years’ experience in governance/admin/compliance for a CIC, charity, social enterprise or arts organisation (or equivalent experience).

Time: 7–14 hours per month, including around 4 short meetings a year. This is an advisory/stewardship role (not a legal director position), with flexible, access-aware ways to contribute.

Skills

• Experience of governance and/or administration in a CIC, charity, social enterprise or arts organisation
• Familiarity with Companies House filings, organisational policies, risk registers and funding conditions
• Confident creating and maintaining simple systems: governance calendars, action logs, registers, minutes
• Strong record-keeping and attention to detail
• Clear written communication (minutes, summaries, one-page overviews)
• Calm, balanced judgement and ability to prioritise risks and actions
• Comfortable working with others to turn “governance speak” into user-friendly checklists and templates
