Blute
Blute provides AI-powered mental health support and data analytics to combat the catastrophic dropout rates among healthcare students, such as the 40% of UK nursing students who do not complete their training. The startup addresses the critical global deficit of healthcare workers, which is driven by students suffering emotional crises in silence during high-pressure clinical placements due to a lack of accessible support.
This issue perpetuates a cycle where understaffed hospitals offer poor training, leading to further trauma. Blute breaks this cycle by offering a conversational AI companion for judgment-free reflection and immediate guidance, acting like a supportive friend.
The crucial innovation is transforming the essence of these private interactions into actionable data. This allows universities to identify high-risk students and intervene with targeted support, transforming struggling students into resilient professionals. By doing so, Blute directly supports multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, including strengthening the health workforce (Goal 3) and ensuring supportive, inclusive healthcare training (Goal 4).

Flexible Role (3-10 hours/week) | Help Launch Our Solution to the Healthcare Crisis
Are you an expert in Higher Education (HE) ready to use your sector knowledge and network to drive real social impact?

Your primary goal is to establish mutually beneficial pilot collaborations with universities, ensuring our solution is deployed effectively upon launch.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Strategic Outreach & Pipeline: Identify and build a pipeline of target universities, prioritising those most in need (e.g. based on continuation rate data). You will conduct outreach to secure exploratory meetings.
- HE Context & Needs Assessment: Use your deep knowledge of the HE sector to assess potential partners. You must understand the university's budget cycles, procurement process, risk appetite and their specific goals (e.g. retention vs. satisfaction) to ensure Blute is a tailored solution.
- Pilot Foundation & Setup: Be involved in the initial setup of new pilots, helping lay the groundwork for success. This includes supporting stakeholder meetings (like gaining IT approval) and coordinating baseline data gathering.

- HE Sector Knowledge: You confidently understand the procurement process, institutional culture and key decision-makers within UK universities.

Youth On The Rise
We train peers to deliver digital, life-skills, menstrual support and career programmes that mobilize communities.
Africa faces youth unemployment that fuels poverty, crime and substance abuse. Primary schools lack computer literacy, widening the digital divide and limiting opportunity. Girls miss school because of period poverty and stigma, while boys face violence, poor life skills and reintegration after detention. Learners also make tertiary choices with poor information. High HIV prevalence demands health education and blood donations. Communities experience unmanaged waste and degraded public spaces.
A systemic, peer-led model under Youth On The Rise that turns risk into opportunity. We run KidsInTech (foundational digital skills), A Man To Remember (life-skills plus sport and reintegration for boys), Girls’ Dignity & Wellness (period support and confidence), and Career Guidance clinics (informed pathways). Each programme uses train-to-lead toolkits, facilitator run-sheets, safeguarding, and impact trackers so schools, churches, and youth clubs can deliver independently. Partnerships—Ministry of Education permissions, Machabeng International College volunteers, local churches for meals, and Kick4Life for certificates—reduce costs and expand reach. Media campaigns, HIV education, blood drives, and city clean-ups link learning to visible community outcomes.

We’re looking for a motivated, creative and highly organised I Am Proud Stage Manager to supervise the I Am Proud sub-team and lead the delivery of our event’s panel stage, programming entertainment that represents and celebrates the bi+ community.
Ideal time commitment: approx. 5-10 hours per month; flexible. This is likely to increase on the approach to an event.
Location: remote/ home based, in-person attendance at events is desirable.
Supported/ supervised by: the Head of Events, also working closely with volunteers in the I Am Proud Stage sub-team and Events team.
Bi Pride UK’s mission is to create spaces where people who experience attraction beyond gender can be freely visible and celebrate themselves and their identities. It’s not enough to be ‘welcome’ at Pride. We make up a very large proportion of the queer community – the 2021 Census actually shows we’re half of the community – and we deserve to be visible and celebrated in our own right.
There are many ways to make this happen, and we work in many ways to bring this change about:
- Outreach work with other Prides, LGBTQ+ organisations and bi organisations – our consultation work with local Prides, the UK Pride Organisers Network and local and national LGBTQ+ organisations works in a tailored way to make sure that bi inclusion is a top priority and is being done well
- Organising a high-profile annual Bi Pride event – from September 2019, Bi Pride UK made history with the largest ever gathering of bi people recorded. A performance stage, a panel stage, stall village, street food, and over 1,300 attendees. After going virtual with the BiFi Festival for 2020 due to Covid-19 and running a virtual Pride event in 2021, we came back in person in 2022 with a hybrid event, and have been running the event in this format ever since
- Building a strong online and virtual community – just as important as the rest of our work is making sure that people hear about it! People need to know what resources and spaces exist for them, and how they can connect with other people like them
The role:
The Events team at Bi Pride UK is one of the core operational teams within the charity. The team handles programming, production and execution of our events, including our annual flagship Bi Pride event, which holds the record for the largest Bi Pride event in the world. The I Am Proud Stage Manager will take operational responsibility for the I Am Proud Stage within Bi Pride UK’s events; a panel-based stage which spotlights intersectional discussions, interviews and activism, dedicated to the bi+ experience.
The I Am Proud Stage Manager will lead on the planning and delivery of the I Am Proud Stage programming at Bi Pride UK’s events, and will be supported by a small team of I Am Proud Stage Assistant Managers. The I Am Proud Stage Manager will also supervise the I Am Proud Stage sub-team, as well as the I Am Proud Stage’s “on-the-day” event volunteers. The holder of this role will work to provide a programme of live entertainment that represents and celebrates bi+ people, their voices and their experiences.
Key tasks of this role will include:
- Working closely with the Head of Events and Events Trustee, as well as volunteers across the charity, to deliver an I Am Proud Stage provision that meets the charity’s vision;
- Booking a diverse range of speakers and hosts, after contributing to assessments of each speaker’s application for suitability/ reputational risk against the aims and objectives of Bi Pride UK;
- Liaising with the venue, the venue’s technical team and speakers to arrange the logistics for the I Am Proud Stage delivery (including agreeing upon riders, stage layout and equipment, lighting and sound requirements and arrival/ panel times, etc.);
- Overseeing the completion of speaker contracts, receipt of invoices and other relevant documentation, including accurate record keeping and storage of such documents;
