We are the only UK charity that covers the entire digestive system. We raise vital awareness of digestive conditions, fund life-saving research, and provide patients and loved ones with expert information and support – we are informed by evidence and expertise, our community, and the patient voice.​

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.

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.

As our Finance Trustee, you'll safeguard our growth by keeping accounts current, ensuring governance excellence, and driving financial strategy in a small, agile board with no full-time staff – perfect for those ready to commit real hours to make a tangible impact.​

Why This Role Matters

In this voluntary Treasurer position, you'll oversee financial reporting, budgeting, compliance with Charity Commission rules, and risk management using tools like QuickBooks, directly fueling our vital ADHD support services. Your oversight ensures every pound advances our objects: peer-led groups, neurodiversity training for employers, and accessible online help that transforms lives affected by ADHD. Hands-on involvement means you'll keep our accounts up-to-date, liaise with stakeholders, and provide board guidance – a pivotal role in our volunteer-driven sustainability.​

We Champion Neurodivergence

ADHD Aware celebrates neurodivergence: we prioritise clear, structured language, flexible remote meetings via Teams/Zoom (with occasional in-person meetings in Brighton), and we are happy to chat about any accessibility needs before you apply. Expect transparent processes, no jargon overload, and understanding for variable focus – submit your CV and covering note detailing finance experience (ACA/ACCA/CIMA ideal, charity finance experience highly desirable) by 9 January 2026. We're seeking collaborative hands-on contributors who are committed to our mission and values.​
