Our growing team of volunteers all contribute, significantly, to the impact that we have as a charity on our direct beneficiaries, regardless of the department that they work in of the level of time that they are able to commit. Our services primarily offer a peer-support network to young people right across the UK, allowing them to access a peer mentor who is of a similar age to them and somebody that they feel more comfortable speaking with.

If successful, you will be joining a growing team of diverse, but likeminded individuals, collaborating to increase the reach of the Charity and improve support provisions available to young people. All of our volunteers and employees are remote workers, but that doesn't stop us keeping in touch and maintaining a strong positive culture amongst our whole team.

• Providing support as part of our Peer Mentor network to colleagues across the Charity who are also directly supporting young people.
• Maintaining compliance with all policies. Most importantly this means maintaining the right level of confidentiality around your conversations with young people and recognising your safeguarding responsibilities in raising concerns as they arise to keep young people safe.

Skills

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:

1. Why you care about this (2-3 sentences)
2. Who you could realistically interview (be specific)
3. Any organizations you could connect us with
4. 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.

Join Ranger Cadets as a Cadet NCO! - VOLUNTEER ROLE

Location: London Cadet Units

Commitment: One evening per week (7–9pm)

About Ranger Cadets

Ranger Cadets is a new, independent, non-profit uniformed youth organisation with a bold mission: to engage young people in their communities, equip them with essential life skills, and unlock their full potential. We are non-political, non-religious, and proudly inclusive – open to all, regardless of background.

The Role

We’re looking for motivated young people to step up as Cadet Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs). As an NCO, you’ll be part of the leadership team in your local cadet unit—helping to guide, support, and inspire your fellow cadets.

Whether you’ve had previous experience as an NCO or you’re brand new to the role, we’ll give you the training and support you need to succeed.

As a Cadet NCO, you will:

• Lead by example in uniform, showing pride and commitment.

• Help run weekly cadet sessions alongside adult instructors.

• Support and mentor younger cadets as they learn new skills.

• Take responsibility for parts of the cadet syllabus programme.

• Encourage cadets to earn badges, progress through the ranks, and grow in confidence.

Who We’re Looking For

• Young people aged between 13 and 21 years old, with enthusiasm, commitment, and a willingness to learn.

• Previous NCO experience is great—but not essential!

• Team players who want to take on responsibility and make a difference.

• Cadets who are ready to step up, lead, and inspire others.

What You’ll Gain

• Leadership experience that looks great on your CV or future applications.

• The chance to earn respect, responsibility, and recognition within your unit.

• Opportunities to grow your skills, confidence, and community impact.

• Pride in helping your fellow cadets achieve their goals.

How to Apply

If you’re ready to step up, wear the uniform with pride, and lead your fellow cadets, we’d love to hear from you.

#PreparedForLife

Could you be the new Chair of CPRE Buckinghamshire (one of the branches of CPRE – the Countryside Charity)? Do you care about your local community and environment?

We have a long and successful history of campaigning on items that matter to the local area – canvassing, prompting and lobbying local authorities, Councillors and MPs. In doing so, we have been able to ensure that the views of the people who depend on, work on and cherish the Buckinghamshire countryside are reflected in local decision-making.

The Chair role will suit someone living in Buckinghamshire or the Milton Keynes area, who has a keen interest in the countryside and is excited by the prospect of helping to direct the future of CPRE Buckinghamshire over the next 5–7 years. It is an exciting time to join our team, as CPRE nationally is celebrating 100 years in 2026; you can be involved in making plans as to how we will celebrate this with the Buckinghamshire community through various events and activities.

You will help to:

• direct our important campaigns, engaging the local community and raising awareness of the issues that the countryside faces
• lead our Trustee board, and recruit new Trustee members
• increase our membership, so that we can continue to do the work we are doing
• expand our team of volunteers, so that we can widen and increase the work that we do
• liaise with stakeholders and partners, and forge new partnerships
• ensure that we as a charity meet our legal requirements, adhering to our governing document, and have the necessary policies and resources
• nurture and shape the future of CPRE Bucks.

We estimate that the time commitment will be around 1 day a week, although this is variable and dependent on activities. You can of course do more if you wish! Our team works and meets remotely most of the time, but occasional travel may be necessary – to attend CPRE Head Office in London, for example.

This is a volunteer role in which you can really make a difference. We welcome applicants of any age, gender and background.
