It’s an exciting time to join our charity. We are looking to strengthen our governance and build on our financial foundations to support future growth and impact.
The role
As Treasurer, you will oversee the financial governance of BBS UK, working closely with the Board of Trustees, Operations Manager, and external accountant.
This is a strategic oversight role, not a hands-on bookkeeping position. Day-to-day financial administration is carried out by staff; the Treasurer provides assurance, guidance, and clarity to support good decision-making.

Essential:
-
Experience in finance, accounting, bookkeeping, or financial oversight
-
Confidence interpreting financial information and explaining it clearly to non-financial colleagues
-
Understanding of financial controls and good governance
-
Ability to think strategically and identify financial risks
Desirable:
-
Experience in a charity or not-for-profit setting
-
Understanding of restricted and unrestricted funds
-
Experience working with budgets or management accounts
We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of BBS or a connection to the BBS community, though this is not essential.
As a BBS UK Trustee, you will have:
-
Induction, training, and ongoing support
-
Reasonable expenses reimbursed
-
Opportunities to develop new skills and contribute at a strategic level
-
The chance to make a meaningful difference to a rare disease community
-
Opportunities to collaborate with dedicated trustees, staff, and partners
Time commitment
-
Attendance at four Board meetings per year (online, approximately 3 hours each)
-
Reviewing financial information monthly or quarterly
-
Additional input around budget setting and year-end accounts
-
Attendance at our annual conference weekend (in person; expenses covered)
If you would like an informal conversation about the role before applying, we would be very happy to arrange a chat with our Chair.
BBS UK is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds who share our values and want to support our community.
By applying for this role you confirm that you are willing and eligible to act as a trustee of BBS UK, that you understand the charity’s purposes and governing document, and that you are not disqualified from acting as a trustee under charity law, including due to relevant unspent convictions, insolvency restrictions, regulatory removal or disqualification, director disqualified from acting as a trustee under charity law, including due to relevant unspent convictions, insolvency restrictions, regulatory removal or disqualification, director disqualification, or other legal prohibitions.

Learning and curriculum designers wanted to help East London Waterworks Park deliver its environmental learning goals.
East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces.
We are looking for volunteers to develop learning content and resources, such as lesson plans and educational materials, to support our environmental learning goals. This role will focus on creating school-friendly resources for our website and collaborating with educators to enhance our offerings.
The role would include:
- Developing online learning resources for our website (on-going project)
- Designing or tailoring existing lesson plans and activities for schools
- Supporting the creation of ELWP’s Under 18s volunteering policy
- Supporting outreach efforts to promote ELWP’s existing learning programmes
Schools, universities and youth groups we've collaborated with include:
- Waltham Forest College
- Henry Maynard Primary School, Walthamstow
- Buxton School, Leytonstone
- Kingsmead Primary School, Hackney

- UCL
- Royal College of Art
- University of Westminster

We're looking for people to lead on these projects and facilitate the direction of the learning working group.
The Learning Circle currently meets monthly on a Wednesday evening at 8pm for an hour on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely.
Ideal candidates have experience in curriculum design, teaching, or educational resource development. Creativity, strong writing skills, and an understanding of outdoor or environmental education will be valuable. Our roles are quite flexible. We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature, and courageous inclusiveness to the role.
Your support will help young people and learners improve their environmental knowledge of design and research as well as contributing to our community-owned park. This will in turn provide a sense of stewardship over the land once the park is created and student's ideas have been built into the park. Creating learning projects with educational institutions will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park.
You will have a significant impact on the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds. By volunteering in this role, you will help shape the future of East London Waterworks Park as a community-led environmental learning space. This will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park. If you’re interested in joining us, we’d love to hear from you!

Nearly 400,000 women experience pregnancy and maternity discrimination at work each year, with just 1% filling a complaint with the Employment Tribunal. For those that do, the process can be extremely stressful and intimidating, as they face a battle against organisations who often have the resources to afford the very best solicitors. We’ve heard from many women and parents who have shared the impact Tribunal claims have had on their mental health, with the process leaving them feeling burdened, alone and frightened.
We are looking for volunteers who have been through the Employment Tribunal process before, and would like to use that experience to support others during their claims.

They offer a listening ear through regular calls, and kind, empathetic support to help build the confidence to face an Employment Tribunal claim.

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.
