About Us

ThriveSpark is an upcoming Southampton-based Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to empowering minds and igniting potential. We host calm, neuro-affirming spaces and support people navigating systems that weren’t designed with ADHD in mind. Our mission is simple: community, confidence, and fair access.

The Role

We are seeking a Legal Officer to join our Director Board and help guide the organisation’s governance and compliance as we expand our community impact. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a keen interest in law, governance, or the charity and social enterprise sector—whether you’re an early-career professional or looking to apply existing legal knowledge in a meaningful way.

You’ll work alongside a small, motivated team of volunteer Directors to ensure our operations are legally sound and ethically robust. You do not need extensive leadership experience - just sound judgement, commitment to good practice, and a willingness to learn and contribute.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee and advise on legal matters affecting the organisation (contracts, compliance, policies, etc.)

• Support with Companies House and CIC Regulator filings and governance updates

• Ensure that policies meet relevant legislation (GDPR, safeguarding, equality, etc.)

• Review partnership or funding agreements when needed

• Contribute to the organisation’s strategic decisions as part of the Director Board

• Uphold the organisation’s values of inclusion, integrity, and community empowerment

What We’re Looking For

• An understanding of (or willingness to learn about) company and charity law

• Ability to interpret and communicate legal and regulatory information clearly

• Attention to detail and an organised approach

• Commitment to ThriveSpark’s mission and values

• Collaborative mindset – willing to share insights and work as part of a team

What You’ll Gain

• Experience at board level within a growing social enterprise

• The opportunity to apply or develop legal and governance skills in a practical, supportive setting

• Professional development, networking, and leadership opportunities

• The satisfaction of contributing to a positive community impact

We are looking for kitchen assistants to help us prepare a warm meal for the children that attend our sessions after school or during the school holidays. 

Kitchen assistants prepare the meal depending on the ingredients donated to us and based on their confidence level. We want to make sure volunteers feel confident in what they are cooking. Often dishes are: jacket potatoes, pasta bakes, currys, stir fryes. 

During term time we tend to have 1-2 volunteers in the kitchen and holidays 3-4, as more children attend the sessions during the holidays.

Expect to feel the community energy when you enter the space, with children attending regualrly and their parients having attended when they were younger. Team feel, with the other volunteers working togther to make the meal. 

The Vench is a specail place and you will feel that and hopefully enjoy volunteering here. 

Be Part of Something Meaningful

We're building an AI-powered platform that transforms how organisations prevent burnout and support employee wellbeing-and we need your expertise to get it right.

If you're an HR professional, People and Culture leader, manager, or employee who's frustrated with generic wellbeing initiatives that don't actually help, this is your chance to design something better from the ground up.

What You'll Do

Deep Dive Discussions (Monthly)

• Share your real experiences with workplace wellbeing challenges
• Critique our approach before we build the wrong thing
• Help us understand what managers actually need versus what surveys tell us they need

User Testing Sessions (Bi-weekly)

• Test early prototypes of our dashboard, intervention tools, and manager toolkits
• Tell us what feels authentic versus robotic
• Challenge our assumptions about privacy, data ethics, and implementation barriers

Shape Real Features

• Your feedback directly influences what we build
• We're not asking you to validate our ideas-we want you to tear them apart
• See your suggestions implemented in real-time as we develop the MVP

What Makes This Different

This isn't a token "advisory panel" where your input disappears into the void. You'll:

• Have direct access to our founding team
• Participate in specific feature decisions with veto power
• Receive detailed updates on how your feedback shaped development
• Get early access to the platform for your own organisation (if desired)
• Have the opportunity to transition to our formal Advisory Board as we scale

Who We're Looking For

HR/People/Culture Professionals who:

• Have battled C-suite for wellbeing budgets and know what evidence actually works
• Understand the gap between "wellbeing is a priority" and actual resource allocation
• Can speak to security, compliance, and integration barriers that kill good initiatives

Managers who:

• Have had those difficult "I think you're struggling" conversations and know what makes them go well or badly
• Want expert guidance but feel underprepared for wellbeing situations
• Can articulate what would make them consistently use a wellbeing tool versus letting it gather dust

Employees who:

• Have experienced burnout or watched colleagues struggle
• Can identify what actually helps versus performative wellbeing theatre
• Want to ensure employee privacy and agency are protected in wellbeing tech

The Bigger Picture

Our research shows:

• 75% of managers want expert guidance but feel underprepared for wellbeing conversations
• 62% want training on "recognising early signs" but 68% already identify struggling team members—so the gap isn't detection, it's intervention
• Wellbeing is flagged as "high priority" but budget allocation is often unclear or absent

We're building a system that uses predictive modeling to detect burnout risk 1-4 weeks before crisis, identifies hidden patterns in motivation data, and deploys targeted interventions at individual, manager, and organizational levels.

But here's the truth: We'll only build something valuable if people like you tell us where we're wrong.

Time Commitment Breakdown

• Monthly Deep Dive: 90-minute virtual session exploring specific challenges
• Bi-weekly User Testing: 30-45 minute sessions testing prototypes
• Asynchronous Feedback: Brief surveys and feedback forms (15 minutes)
• Optional Office Hours: Drop-in sessions with our team as needed

Total: 3-6 hours per month, flexible scheduling

What You'll Gain

• Early Platform Access: Use DMAFB in your organisation before public launch
• Advisory Board Opportunity: Transition to our formal Advisory Board with equity consideration
• Professional Development: Certificate of participation; LinkedIn recommendation
• Network Access: Connect with HR leaders and wellbeing experts across sectors
• Impact: Your expertise will shape a tool used by thousands of employees

Our Commitment to You

• We'll never waste your time with meetings that should be emails
• You can participate as much or as little as your schedule allows
• We'll share what we learn from the collective panel (anonymised insights)
• If you decide it's not for you, exit anytime with no hard feelings

About Do Me A Favour Buddy

We're a wellbeing tech startup founded on Self-Determination Theory-the science of human motivation. Our platform translates employee motivation and wellbeing data into real-time, personalized interventions that measurably impact productivity, retention, and team performance.

We're seeing 60-80% reduction in burnout-related turnover and 12-15% productivity improvements in early pilots. But we know the real test is whether busy managers will actually use this consistently, and whether employees will trust it.

That's where you come in... (cue super hero music :))

Our Mission is to deliver a structured and transformative education in the Essentials of Islam in a way that lowers barriers to access, develops a deep certainty, and inspires action.

Why Does Roots Academy Exist?

Crisis of Faith: 1 in 4 young Muslims are leaving the religion due to various factors, primarily the pervasive anti-religious content and temptations they encounter online and offline. 

Roots Academy exists to bridge this gap by providing a structured and transformative Islamic education that speaks directly to the needs and challenges of young Muslims today, delivered in an engaging and accessible form that removes barriers to access and provokes thought and action.

• Solid Python scripting ability (writing, debugging, reading others’ scripts) (MUST HAVE)

• Experience with Google Workspace administration

• Familiarity with version control (Git / GitHub)

• Experience with Docker, containerized services, and general server operations

• Experience with DNS, domain setup, and infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform)

• Good organizational skills and ability to document systems clearly

• Ability to assess technical feasibility and communicate trade-offs
   

At Roots Academy, we are committed to providing accessible Islamic Education to individuals from all backgrounds. To achieve this, we are working to build an inclusive and welcoming workplace, reflective of the students we serve.

We strongly encourage applications from Muslim women and Roots students or alumni that have benefitted from a Roots Class, as well as individuals that bring experience from the education sector or charity sector.

As we are working to improve diversity and inclusion within the organisation, we encourage candidates to voluntarily complete this optional, anonymous survey. This will allow us to monitor our progress and identify where we can improve: https://tally.so/r/np8zWy
 

What we have to offer

• Be part of a team of 100+ dedicated volunteers across the UK, Ireland, Egypt, Turkey, Canada, US, UAE and Australia.

• Receive continuous rewards for those that seek Islamic knowledge from the Roots platform. 

• Be a part of a growing organisation that aims to revive and educate Muslims from a grassroots perspective.
