Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
We're building a platform to catch burnout before it happens. Need someone with HR connections who can talk to people and open doors.
The Problem
People are burning out at work. By the time managers notice, it's too late. We're building something to change that.
What We're Building
A platform that spots early warning signs of burnout and helps managers intervene before people break. Think predictive tech + psychology + practical support.
What We Actually Need You To Do
We need someone who can:
- Talk to HR people and managers about their burnout challenges (15-20 interviews over 2-3 weeks)
- Find organizations that might want to test this with their teams
- Help us understand what would actually work vs. what sounds good on paper
That's it. No corporate nonsense. Just real conversations with real people about a real problem.
Your Actual Tasks
Weeks 1-2: Find people to interview
- Use your network to find 15-20 HR folks, managers, and employees
- Schedule 30-60 min chats (we'll give you the questions)
- Could be over coffee, Zoom, phone - whatever works
Weeks 3-4: Do the interviews
- Have real conversations about burnout
- Document what matters (not what sounds nice)
- Work with our psychologists to make sense of it
Weeks 5-6: Connect us with organizations
- Find 5-10 companies that might test this
- Make intros to the right people
- Help us understand who'd actually pay for this
Time commitment: 2-3 hours a day. Work when you want. No meetings about meetings.
Why Bother?
Honestly:
- You'll help build something launching in 8 weeks (not years)
- You get to shape the product from scratch
- You'll work with psychologists and tech people who actually know what they're doing
- Good for your CV if you want to move into product/research/biz dev
- If you're brilliant, we might offer equity or a paid role later
- Work from home, flexible hours, no micromanaging
Also: burnout is real. If you've seen it or felt it, you know why this matters.
Who We're Looking For
Someone who:
- Knows HR people or managers (and they'd actually take your call)
- Can have a proper conversation without reading a script
- Gets why burnout matters (maybe you've been there)
- Doesn't need babysitting - you see what needs doing and do it
- Can move fast - we're launching in 8 weeks
Experience we care about:
- You've worked in HR, management, or people stuff (3+ years)
- You've done interviews or research before (or you're confident you can)
- You have connections we don't (that's the whole point)
Don't have all of this? Apply anyway if you care about the problem and can help.
What You Actually Get
- Real product experience (not busy work)
- Portfolio piece you can show people
- References from our team
- Connections with psychologists and tech people
- Maybe equity if you're exceptional
- The satisfaction of helping prevent burnout (sounds cheesy but it's true)
The Team
- Chief Behavioral Psychologist
- Occupational Psychologist
- AI/ML person
- CTO
- UX Designer
Small team. No corporate BS. Building something that matters.
Timeline
Start: Now (November) Busiest: First 2 weeks (3 hrs/day finding and scheduling people) After that: 2 hrs/day for 4-6 weeks End: Mid-December
Work whenever suits you. We care about results, not when you're online.
Success =
- 15-20 good interviews done
- 5-10 companies interested in testing this
- Insights that help us build the right thing
- Not wasting each other's time
Why Not Paid?
We're pre-revenue. Every penny goes into building this. But if you're good, equity or paid work could come later. And the experience is worth more than a few hundred quid anyway.
What We Promise
We won't:
- Have pointless meetings
- Micromanage you
- Waste your time
- Give you vague objectives
We will:
- Be clear about what needs doing
- Support you when needed, leave you alone when not
- Give you proper credit
- Write you good references
Why This Matters
Burnout is expensive (£322 billion to the economy) and miserable (for the people going through it). Most companies wait until people break, then offer an EAP number.
We're trying to catch it earlier. Your conversations will tell us if this is actually useful or just another wellness gimmick.
To Apply
Just tell us:
- Why you care about this (2-3 sentences)
- Who you could realistically interview (be specific)
- Any organizations you could connect us with
- Can you start now and commit 2-3 hrs/day for 6-8 weeks?
Attach your CV.
Don't overthink it. If this sounds interesting, apply.
Questions? Email us - we respond fast.
P.S. If you're not sure you're "qualified enough" - apply anyway. We need diverse perspectives, not clones.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!

Trustee
League Against Cruel Sports
Location: Remote, with one in-person Board meeting per year
Commitment: Approx. 1–2 days per month
Term: Three years (renewable for up to three consecutive terms)
Be part of a new era for animal protection
The League Against Cruel Sports is at an exciting point in its 100-year history. With a new Chair, a new CEO and a bold new strategy, we are entering the next chapter in our mission to end the persecution of animals for sport once and for all.
As Britain’s leading animal welfare campaigning charity, we expose cruelty, protect animals and drive legislative and cultural change. From helping to secure the landmark Hunting Act 2004 to tackling new and emerging forms of cruelty, our work is fuelled by compassion, evidence and impact.
We are now seeking new Trustees to join our Board at this pivotal time — people who can help guide our strategy, strengthen our governance and ensure the League continues to be a powerful voice for animals.
About the role
As a Trustee, you will:
- Share responsibility with fellow Trustees for the League’s governance, strategy, and financial oversight.
- Provide support, insight and constructive challenge to the CEO and senior leadership team.
- Help ensure the charity continues to deliver on its mission effectively, ethically and sustainably.
- Act as an ambassador for the League, promoting our work to supporters, partners and the wider public.
This is an exceptional opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a tangible difference for animals — and to help steer one of the UK’s most respected and influential campaigning charities into its next phase of growth and impact.
What we’re looking for
You’ll bring:
- A genuine commitment to animal welfare and to the League’s mission and values: Compassionate, Courageous, Credible, Collaborative and Connected.
- Strategic thinking, sound judgment and the ability to analyse complex information to make evidence-based decisions.
- Experience of operating at a senior or strategic level, ideally within a board or governance setting.
- A commitment to the principles of good governance and the Seven Principles of Public Life (selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership).
Previous trustee experience is welcome but not essential – we value diversity of thought, background and experience.
Time commitment
- One in-person Board meeting per year and three virtual meetings, plus an Annual General Meeting.
- Additional engagement between meetings as needed (approximately 1–2 days per month).
Trustee positions are unremunerated, with reasonable expenses reimbursed.
Join us
If you share our belief that cruelty to animals in the name of sport has no place in a modern society — and you’re ready to play a part in leading the League into its next chapter — we’d love to hear from you.
To apply, please send your CV and a short statement outlining your interest and relevant experience by 15 January 2026. Please see the Trustees Brief located on our website jobs page.
Together, we can create a kinder world for animals.

About The Academy
The ethos of the Confidence Academy is very simple: Participants get their money back once they attend their selected fitness and wellbeing events. When you show up for your health, when you show up for yourself... your refund is your reward.
The Confidence Academy exists to make the tools of confidence-building — through improved nutrition, better mental and physical fitness, and community support — accessible to all, particularly to struggling and marginalised communities who often feel invisible or left behind. Health inequality is one of the biggest injustice of them all that we don't talk about yet our health is the sole foundation of our existence.
Who Created The Confidence Academy?
The Academy is founded by a 37 year old refugee from Bangladesh, Rayhana Sultan. She is an ex-prisoner. This social enterprise was created after she was able to rebuild her life after prison, hospital detention and recovery through psychotherapy and a supportive community. She is now a finance manager working for the local government in the UK. Outside her day job, she is a model, a panel advisor for the charity Working Chance and now through the Confidence Academy, she wants other people to find the inspiration to turn their pain into power, stigma into strength.
The inception of this CIC is driven by the fact that nearly 60% of the UK population in 2023/24 were reported as obese or overweight. This is a national crisis in a context where our healthcare system is overstretched, support for mental health is not on par which can be exacerbated by health-related problems and an ageing population is awaiting us. Growing old or not being able to afford the regular gym in an era should not mean fitness services are inaccessible to you. So we are here to change it.
What's Happening Next?
We will begin rolling out weekend fitness and wellbeing activities shortly after New Year 2026, supported by online seminars, podcast-style discussions, and community “vox pop” features that amplify real voices and lived experiences around health, confidence, and inclusion. These activities will include group exercise sessions, nutrition and wellness education, mindset and resilience workshops, and confidence-building programmes designed to enhance both physical and mental wellbeing.
Your Role
As the Recruitment Lead, you will work closely with the Director, attend briefing meetings, and then take independent leadership over the recruitment function. This role suits someone who enjoys people-focused work, brings creativity, takes pride in ownership, and wants to help build the Confidence Academy from the ground up.
This opportunity is ideal for someone starting their career in HR or people-management and looking for meaningful work experience.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Collaboration
-
Attend meetings with the Director and take briefing points accurately.
-
Attend team meetings with other members of the squad to bring vision to life (online or remote depending on business needs).
-

-
Help shape the culture of the Academy by taking pride in developing a supportive and inclusive volunteer community.
-
Maintain strong relationships with volunteers and escalate wellbeing needs or concerns to Directors. This academy is volunteer-led. The wellbeing of the volunteers is paramount so we want to make sure everyone who is contributing their effort and time to run The Confidence Academy is proud.
Recruitment & Selection
-
Draft job descriptions for new volunteer roles.
-
Post opportunities on recruitment platforms and community boards.
-
Work with other team members to create infographics and promotional materials for vacancies.
-
Review incoming CVs.
-

3. Assist with email correspondence, partnership inquiries, and event logistics.
4. Maintain a contact log and follow up with potential partners or sponsors.

6. Represent The Confidence Academy at community events or meetings where required.

To ensure that the organisation complies with its governing document, charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations.
-
To ensure that the organisation pursues its objects as defined in its governing document.
-
To ensure the organisation applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its objects (i.e. the charity must not spend money on activities which are not included in its own objects, no matter how worthwhile or charitable those activities are).
-
To contribute actively to the board of directors' role in giving firm strategic direction to the organisation, setting overall policy, defining goals and setting targets and evaluating performance against agreed targets.
-
To safeguard the good name and ethos of the organisation.
-
To ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.
-
To ensure the financial stability of the organisation and to assist with fundraising, where necessary.
-
To protect and manage the property of the charity and to ensure the proper investment of the charity’s funds.

-
In addition to the above statutory duties, each director should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the board of directors reach sound decisions. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, and other issues in which the director has special expertise.
Responsibilities
• Trustees must have a good understanding of and be sympathetic with the aims and objects of the charity and act in accordance with the governing document at all times.
• Trustees must act and make decisions in the best interests of the charity, present and future beneficiaries.
• Where professional assistance is required for the Trustees to be able to make the most appropriate decision affecting the charity, that assistance should be sought and considered carefully.
• Trustees must not receive any financial or non-financial benefit that is not explicitly authorised by the governing document. Trustees should not exert any influence to garner any preferential treatment for themselves or their family.
• Trustees are jointly and severally liable for their decisions; therefore decisions should be taken together and communicated to staff, stakeholders and funders in a unified manner.
• Trustees are accountable to stakeholders for their actions and as such decision-making and governance issues should be as transparent as possible, except for when confidentiality is required.
• Trustees should be prepared to spend an appropriate amount of time reading papers and preparing for board meetings, which will be held on a quarterly basis. A minimum attendance of 75% meetings is required of Trustees to ensure that best practice in governance is reached and maintained.
• Should a Trustee feel that they require further guidance or training in their role, they have a duty to inform the charity secretary and actively develop aspects for new training on an individual or group basis.
• Any information of a confidential nature must remain so outside the confines of the Trustee meeting.
• Trustees should familiarise themselves with the ‘Nolan Principles’, and act in accordance with them.

Each Talitha Trustee will have:
• a passion for supporting survivors of trauma and people who are vulnerable (including trafficking, domestic violence and abuse, people recovering from addiction, refugees and asylum seekers, and people living with dementia)
• excellent interpersonal and team-working skills
• a willingness to devote the necessary time and effort
• strategic vision
• good, independent judgment
• an ability to think creatively

Our Story
Talitha Arts was founded by actor, Amanda Root. It began as a small volunteer organisation, primarily offering mental health support by facilitating arts workshops for International Justice Mission in India and working with professionals in aftercare homes for girls rescued from trafficking and violent abuse.
Over the years, our work has expanded to respond to the needs of U.K. organisations working directly with those who have experienced trauma, abuse, violence, homelessness; ex-offenders, refugees, children, and those who are living with dementia.
Every year as part of our mandate, we train new practitioners in the Talitha Approach to deliver our workshops. Our approach is 'person-centred', meaning it is tailored to the individuals we serve. Our practitioners are both professional creative artists and registered therapists who are passionate about the Talitha Mission.
At Talitha, we aim to change the world one life at a time by providing mental health support through the power of the arts.
We do this by delivering programmes of workshops that support creative expression, foster community, and empower through music, movement, drama and the visual arts.
