You Can Help
At Thrive Autism, volunteers play a vital role in helping us support neurodivergent children, young people, and their families across Norfolk and Waveney.
As a growing charity working towards creating Norfolk’s first dedicated Autism Centre, we rely on the passion, skills, and generosity of people who want to make a real difference in their community.
Whether you can offer a few hours a week or help at specific events, every volunteer helps us provide practical support, respite opportunities, community connection, and the welcoming spaces that families urgently need.
On this page, you’ll find our current volunteer vacancies. Each role contributes directly to our mission and helps build the foundations of a brighter, more inclusive future for autistic children and their caregivers.
