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).

Compliance Officer

��️ Compliance Officer (Part-Time/Flexible) – Join the Mission at Blute!

Are you ready to use your compliance superpowers to help solve the healthcare staffing crisis?

At Blute, we’re not just building an app; we're building the safety net for the next generation of healthcare professionals. Blute empowers universities with real-time student data to elevate wellbeing and career readiness, ensuring higher retention and a stronger healthcare workforce.

We're looking for an experienced, proactive Compliance Officer to ensure our commitment to healthcare student training and wellbeing is matched by our commitment to trust, security and regulation. This is a high-impact, flexible role crucial to our commercial success. 

�� What You’ll Be Doing

Ultimately we need you to drive our compliance efforts so we can hit the ground running the moment a client wants to use our product.

Here is how you will make that happen:

• Lead the Way: Take full ownership of our compliance efforts, making sure Blute is completely ready to sell to universities and the NHS.
• Be Our Expert: Become our go-to person for all things data and security, including GDPR, how we store data, security rules and making sure our product is accessible to everyone. You’ll also research and prepare for any specific regulations or frameworks our UK university and NHS clients will ask us to meet.
• Drive the Compliance Tool: We've subscribed to a platform and service to help us get through compliance. You'll be the main user of this tool, actively finishing tasks to get us DTAC certified and meet other essential standards.
• Look Beyond the Platform: Don't just follow the checklist within this tool! You'll investigate any other regulations we need to meet and advise the team on how to stay fully compliant.
• Build Simple Rules: Advise on, write and update all our internal policies and procedures, creating a clear and simple rulebook for compliance needs and how the whole team works.
• Manage Our Risks: Lead the effort to spot and manage risks. This means creating and keeping track of potential security and compliance threats (our risk register) and planning how to avoid them to keep Blute safe.
• Keep Up with Paperwork: Handle all required paperwork and reporting to ensure Blute stays compliant in all necessary areas.

��What We're Looking For:

• Proactive Leader: You don't wait for direction; you seek out challenges and know how to prioritise compliance risks in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience: Proven background in navigating regulatory landscapes, ideally within health tech, edtech, or highly regulated sectors (e.g., knowledge of UK data standards, clinical governance, or information security is a huge plus).

Join the Board of Ensonglopedia, a newly registered arts charity working at the intersection of education, the performing arts and science.

We make musical comedies on science topics for theatres, festivals and schools, alongside workshops in educational, community and disability settings. Our work also includes music videos, documentaries and books, all created under the artistic direction of award-winning theatre maker and science communicator John Hinton.

Recent projects include The Puddle at the End of the World (about the climate crisis and migration), Light Fantastic! (the science of light), and Forces at Play (a Brooklands Museum commission).

Having become a registered charity in 2024, we are entering an exciting new chapter – expanding our network of creative partners and deepening our inclusion work. We’re now seeking up to four new Trustees to help guide our strategic direction and support the Artistic Director.

We welcome applicants with experience in finance, charity governance, touring theatre, fundraising, or legal expertise, as well as those with lived experience of disability and/or neurodivergence. No prior board experience is required.

Trustees attend four online Board meetings per year and are invited to company events and sharings. The role is voluntary, with travel expenses covered as needed.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a charity at the very start and to make a difference in shaping how we move forward.

Who are we looking for?

At present we are working towards being fully operational, over the next year Living Reasons will be looking to expand its reach and part of that journey is to support people who have neurodevelopmental conditions, learning difficulties and/or disabilities through legal processes if they have faced discrimination. To do this, the organisation needs to remain knowledgeable in this area.

Living Reasons will not be giving legal advice, but will be supportive during the early stages of potential legal proceedings, which means we need an understanding of what is and is not permissible under UK law to ensure that we can help each person effectively while also not diminishing any future legal case, in fact we will be doing all we can to help build evidence in case this needs to happen in the future.

In the role of Discrimination Law Co-ordinator, you will ensure that all disputes and complaints that Living Reasons support someone are consistently meeting these requirements. This will be through templates and guideline creation and will also, at times mean going over individual cases whether this is not clear to the person engaging with the person that has the dispute.

We are not looking for a lawyer specifically, we understand that many people understand the law and may not have been able to engage with the education system to gain a degree for example or are currently in the process of learning law. We are looking for someone who is able to analyse the information in front of them and make the connections to legal precedents and back that up with case law or clear legal reasoning.

What is the plan?

The person who is starting the charity up is autistic, has ADHD, CPTSD and also multiple physical conditions that effect daily life and is part of the LGBTQ+ community and has faced a lot of issues in life because of these things.

Living Reasons is being created to fix what we think is a challenging situation that is getting harder to achieve every week, month and year in the current economic, political, environmental and societal landscape. It is not easily defined but we hope the charity objects below will help put context to what we want to achieve, what we can say is that below are the issues we are trying to address, how we do this will change as quickly as society does, but the issues we want to tackle are these:

1) Outdated and damaging employment practices

2) Accessibility to services

3) Limited employment, training and education opportunities

4) Lack of support during times of crisis or need

5) Lack of equity and agency for many people in society

6) Institutional discrimination that is not challenged

7) Abuse of the legal system at all levels

8) Abuse of power in government bodies

9) Poor access to healthcare

10)  Unequal treatment of many people in society by large corporations

11)  Assumptions made by wider society based on incorrect, outdated or discriminatory rhetoric that is used in daily life

12)  Outdated company engagement with the public

13)  Lack of support that is not talked about and not being addressed
