About Bank.Green
Since the Paris Agreement, global banks have poured a staggering $7.9 trillion into the fossil fuel industry. Bank.Green exists to change that.
We build tools that help people understand how their bank finances climate change, and what they can do about it, whether that’s switching to genuinely greener alternatives or pushing their existing bank to improve. To date, our bank-checking tool has been used 500,000+ times globally and has helped influence at least £25 million in customer deposits toward banks financing a cleaner future.
Through transparency, technology, and public engagement, we aim to redefine the role of banks in the climate transition.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced engineer to act as a technical steward for the Bank.Green website, our primary public-facing platform, working alongside another senior engineer already on the project. Technical decisions are made in a collaborative, consensus-driven way, rather than top-down.
The site is transitioning to Astro, with a React-based frontend, and is deployed via Cloudflare. Content is managed via Prismic as a headless CMS, with data coming from internal GraphQL and REST APIs.
The platform serves roughly 5,000 pages, the majority of which are repeatable, programmatically generated bank profile pages built from shared templates and structured data. As a result, performance, caching, SEO, and build efficiency are key concerns.
This is a hands-on but flexible role, suited to someone who enjoys maintaining and improving real-world infrastructure that thousands of people rely on.
What you’d be working on
-
Building and shipping new frontend features that improve how users understand and act on bank climate data
-
Maintaining and improving the Astro/React codebase with a focus on clarity, performance, and long-term maintainability
-
Improving build performance, caching strategy, and CDN efficiency to keep the site fast and cost-effective at scale
-
Collaborating on architectural and technical decisions with the other senior engineer
-
Reviewing and contributing pull requests, and helping establish sensible frontend and deployment patterns
Ways we work
- Fully remote and asynchronous
- Communication via Slack, Linear, and occasional calls (MS365)
- Pragmatic, low-process, mission-driven team
- Strong bias toward maintainable code and real-world impact
Commitment
This is an unpaid, volunteer role.
- Roughly 7–10 hours per week, flexible
- We’re looking for a longer-term engagement (around 6 months or more) to provide continuity and stewardship
What we’re looking for
- Required: A portfolio, GitHub profile, or equivalent code samples demonstrating real-world frontend or full-stack work
- Experience as a frontend or full-stack engineer at a mid-to-senior level
- Strong JavaScript fundamentals
- Experience with React and modern frontend tooling
- Familiarity with Astro, or strong interest in content-first frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, etc.)
- Comfort reviewing code and guiding less experienced developers
- Experience working asynchronously with distributed teams
- Familiarity with Git-based workflows and Agile-style tools
- Genuine interest in climate action and environmental accountability
At Bank.Green, our mission is to shift financial institutions towards greener lending practices by empowering their customers to advocate for change.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

HEAD OF HR & VOLUNTEERING (REMOTE VOLUNTEER ROLE)
Build the backbone. Shape the culture. Power the movement.
Urban Youth is a start-up fast-moving, street‑level start‑up charity bringing high‑impact, urban-style youth work to London. We don’t sit in offices waiting for young people to come to us — we drop into the heart of the city, transforming unused spaces into hubs of creativity, connection, and opportunity.
But every movement needs structure. Every crew needs a culture. Every launch needs someone who can build the scaffolding behind the scenes.
We’re looking for a Head of HR & Volunteering — a founding volunteer leader who can design our systems, shape our people experience, and build the volunteer-powered engine that makes Urban Youth unstoppable.
Your Mission
You’ll be the architect of Urban Youth’s internal world — the person who builds the infrastructure that allows our street-level work to thrive.
You will:
-
Design and implement our HR systems, processes, and policies from the ground up
-
Build a volunteer programme that feels energising, inclusive, and purpose-driven
-
Lead our volunteer recruitment strategy, working with our Volunteer Coordinator
-
Shape a culture rooted in positivity, continuous improvement, team spirit, and belonging
-
Develop onboarding, training, and support pathways for all volunteers
-
Create simple, effective frameworks that help a start-up charity move fast without losing heart
-
Work closely with the leadership team to prepare Urban Youth for launch and long-term growth
This is a rare chance to build the foundations of a charity before it takes off.
Who You Are
You don’t need to be a traditional HR professional — though you can be. What matters most is your ability to build systems, nurture people, and create culture.
You might be:
-
Someone who loves structure, clarity, and good organisation
-
A natural community-builder who believes in people-first leadership
-
A champion of positivity, fairness, and continuous improvement
-
A creative thinker who enjoys designing processes that actually work
-
Someone excited by the idea of shaping a charity’s DNA from day one
Above all, you believe that people are the heart of everything — and you want to build a place where volunteers feel valued, supported, and part of a family.
Why This Role Matters
Urban Youth is volunteer-powered at its core. The systems you build will shape:
-
How volunteers join
-
How they’re supported
-
How they grow
-
How they feel
-
How we deliver high-impact youth work across London
You’ll be setting the tone for an organisation that moves at the speed of the street — bold, agile, and full of heart.
This is a founding leadership role. A legacy role. A chance to build something that will outlast all of us.
If you want to help build a charity’s entire people ecosystem — and shape a culture rooted in hope, energy, and community — we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now and become the backbone of Urban Youth.
To empower London’s youth through agile, short-term opportunities that build skills, social capital, and confidence via a radical, volunteer led model
