We are building a team of neurodivergent professionals. Work where you work best.
The NDC is a flexible, remote-first employer. We work with freelancers and contractors because we believe neurodivergent people do their best work when they have control over where, when, and how they work. No open-plan offices. No mandatory hours. No presenteeism. Just good work, done well, on your terms.
Built for the way neurodivergent people actually work
Fully remote
Work from wherever you are most comfortable and most productive. Home, a library, a coffee shop, your car. We do not mind. Your environment, your choice.
Flexible hours
We care about the quality of the work, not when it gets done. If you work best at midnight, that is fine. No core hours. No surveillance.
Freelance and contract
We work primarily with freelancers and independent contractors. You choose how much work you take on. No minimum commitment required.
Neurodivergent by requirement
Every assessor must be neurodivergent. This is not a preference. It is how the NDC works. Lived experience is the qualification.
Open roles
Freelance NDC Assessor
We are looking for neurodivergent professionals with experience in UX design, accessibility, software development, learning design, or content design to join our assessment panel. You will assess digital products against the NDC standard across all seven domains, write evidence-based reports, and contribute to the development of the standard itself. Familiarity with assistive technologies (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack) and evaluation tools (axe DevTools, WAVE) is valued.
You must be neurodivergent. Formal diagnosis is welcome but not required. What matters is lived experience and professional credibility. We are looking for people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, sensory processing differences, or other neurodivergent conditions.
Advisory Panel Member
We are recruiting independent advisory panel members to review the NDC standard, contribute to annual updates, and sign off Certified-tier assessments. We are looking for neurodivergent individuals and professionals with expertise in accessibility, inclusive design, clinical psychology, assistive technology, or neurodiversity advocacy.
How to apply
Email hello@thendc.org.uk with:
A brief outline of your professional background and relevant experience in UX, accessibility, learning design, development, or related fields.
Which neurodivergent condition(s) you have lived experience of. Formal diagnosis is not required.
Your availability and preferred working pattern. We are fully flexible.
We do not ask for CVs in a specific format. Send whatever best represents your experience. A link to your portfolio, a few paragraphs in an email, a voice note, a video. We will adapt to your preferred way of communicating, not the other way around.
What happens next: We will acknowledge your application within 5 working days. If we would like to take the conversation further, we will arrange an informal call at a time that suits you. There are no formal interviews, no panel grilling, and no timed tasks. We are interested in your experience and your perspective.
