Do you want to support the running of the charity that supports people in Berkshire’s hospitals?
Are you the person to develop and lead our business opportunities planning, alongside our existing trustees?
You could join the Board of the Friends of Berkshire Hospitals, a charity that improves the experience of patients, visitors, medical staff and others who work in the Royal Berkshire and Wokingham Hospitals.
Our charity grew from a Reading-only organisation set up in 1957, which itself grew from a charitable group in the 1940s. We’re now serving both Reading and Wokingham hospitals, and intend to expand our services and thus our charitable business even further: to better serve all those in the hospitals. Our expenditure in 2024 was £366k, and we have plans to expand our business and fundraising operations outside of hospital premises.
The role and what we are looking for in a new trustee
Trustees are the people who make the top-level decisions for our charity. Our Board includes people with experience and skills in the services we provide to those in hospitals, and we’d expect new trustees to have empathy with our cause and our beneficiaries.
We are looking for experience of developing a business, not necessarily in the not-for-private-profit sector, identifying new opportunities and relationships, creating and implementing our new marketing strategy.
We are a charity not a business, but we apply business principles to governing our organisation. We are looking for people from a variety of backgrounds to join our charity. We want to expand the diversity of our board, in all meanings of the word, and strongly welcome applications from people from less-represented groups.
You don’t necessarily need prior experience of charity trusteeship, as full induction to our organisation will be provided, plus specialist support as a new trustee, including access to external training.
If you can think strategically and plan long-term, you have the primary skills needed by our trustees; you’ll also need to be able to work collectively with other Board members.
Trustees are not be expected to get involved in the organisation’s operations on a day-to-day basis; however, regular contact and liaison with other trustees and employees is expected.
We ask for no more than ten hours of your time per month, which includes all meetings, discussions, etc. You will need access to digital communications, as much of our charity’s business is run that way.
How to apply
This appointment is being managed for us by inVOLve Community Services, a charity-support organisation, who offer a no-obligation discussion by phone or video. A detailed Role Description and Skills Specification is available.
Trustee appointments are subject to satisfactory references.
Your CV or similar will be read by our existing trustees, and an interview offered as soon as mutually convenient.

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:
- Why you care about this (2-3 sentences)
- Who you could realistically interview (be specific)
- Any organizations you could connect us with
- 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.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
