Volunteer With Cognitive Range
Cognitive Range is powered by volunteers who believe legal recruitment should work for everyone. Whatever your skills or background, there’s likely a role here that fits, and every role is designed to flex around your existing work or studies, not compete with them.
Below are our four core volunteer roles. If you’re interested in more than one, or something you don’t see listed, let us know when you apply.
Outreach Volunteers
What you’ll do
Build and maintain relationships with law firms, chambers, and in-house legal teams. You’ll help introduce firms to Cognitive Range, support conversations around training and accreditation, and, once a firm is on board, help deliver our accredited training workshops directly.
Typical activities
Reaching out to early careers and D&I contacts at firms
Supporting or leading calls and meetings with prospective partner firms
Co-delivering or leading accredited training workshops
Helping maintain relationships with firms we’ve already partnered with
Good fit if you
Are confident communicating with professionals, enjoy relationship-building, and want direct experience in outreach, business development, or training delivery.

Help run and grow our social media presence, planning, designing, and posting content that reaches students, recruiters, and supporters across LinkedIn, Instagram, and beyond.
Typical activities

Typical activities
Researching neurodivergent conditions, workplace adjustments, and recruitment best practice
Writing and updating guidance for our Support Information and Research & Evidence pages

How to Apply
All volunteering with Cognitive Range is flexible, unpaid, and designed to work around your existing commitments. There’s no minimum hours requirement, we know you’re balancing work, studies, or both.
