Greensider Foundation
We're a platform that helps water startups and SMEs find specialised talent.
The UK water industry is heading for a crisis - and it's about people, not just infrastructure. 27% of workers are retiring in the next decade, only 8% are under 24, and over a third of skilled jobs can't be filled. Meanwhile, we desperately need 30,000 new water jobs by 2030 as £104 billion flows into infrastructure.
Climate change means we need better desalination, smarter water monitoring, more efficient treatment - all the stuff that small water tech companies are actually building. But these innovative companies are struggling to hire. Hiring costs are hefty but results aren't guaranteed. They also have to compete against other more 'glamorous sectors' as the water industry has an image problem. Young engineers think "water" means boring pipes and pumps, not cutting-edge climate solutions.
We're building a community where water companies and talent actually want to be. Companies post jobs completely free, removing financial barriers for innovative startups. Through targeted outreach and planned content (podcasts, newsletters, company features), we're making water tech careers appealing to young professionals who want meaningful work solving climate problems.
You'll gain real business skills while solving a crisis most people don't even know exists. Whether you're doing outreach to water startups, creating content that reshapes an industry's image, or building community engagement strategies, every task directly connects innovative companies with talent who want to solve water scarcity.
The best part? These skills transfer everywhere. Business development, content strategy, community building - you'll leave with experience that applies to any startup or scale-up. Plus, you'll understand how an essential industry actually works, giving you insights most people never get.
Join us if you want hands-on experience building something that matters, while developing skills that'll serve you anywhere.

Who Are We?
We're setting up a new youth project in London called Urban Youth. Our aim is to create a positive community for young people, offering a number of activities and programmes that forge connections by getting young people together and away from their phones and social media. We want them to actively take part in fun and engaging interactive activities that create memories, boost confidence and resilience, and teach key skills for life – skills that young people can take with them into adulthood, helping to build their future.
Why We Are Doing This?
In a city grappling with the cost of living crisis, rising crime rates, and pervasive worry, it's easy to feel helpless. London is a city of dreams, but for many young people, it can also present unique challenges. Access to positive spaces, mentorship, and opportunities to develop crucial life skills can be limited. We saw a need for a fresh, vibrant approach to youth work – a place where young voices are heard, and potential is unleashed.

We need a dedicated and experienced volunteer to join us as our Project Manager. This pivotal role will lead the entire setup and operational running of Urban Youth, transforming our vision into a tangible, thriving youth project.

-
Apply Your Project Management Prowess: Utilise your expertise in project planning, resource allocation, risk management, and stakeholder coordination within a dynamic, impactful setting.
-
Be a Strategic Operator: Work closely with our management committee and volunteer coordinator to ensure our programmes align with our mission and deliver maximum benefit to young Londoners.
-
Experience Unrivalled Satisfaction: Feel the profound satisfaction of knowing your leadership directly creates a positive impact on the lives of young people, fostering their growth and potential.
-
Join a Dynamic Community: Become part of a passionate, supportive, and fun-loving team of like-minded individuals. Forge new friendships and find your own sense of belonging.
We Need You!
If you have a proven track record in project management, a keen eye for detail, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and a passion for youth empowerment, then we would love to have you join us in this exciting adventure.
