Monitoring, evaluation and learning coordinators 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 a volunteer to track the impact of our educational initiatives, gather data, and support continuous improvement in our learning programs. This role ensures that our learning activities are effective and contribute meaningfully to ELWP’s overarching goals.
This role would include:
- Developing measures of success of existing environmental education initiatives
- Collecting and analyzing feedback from programme participants
- Recommending improvements based on data insights
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
- Daubeney Primary School, Hackney
- UCL
- Royal College of Art
- University of Westminster
- Project Zero
- Voyage Youth
- Loyola University Chicago
- Vanderbilt University Nashville
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.
We're looking for people to lead on these projects and facilitate the direction of the learning working group.
Individuals with experience in research, programme evaluation, data analysis, or education assessment are encouraged to apply. Attention to detail and an interest in measuring impact will be key strengths in this role. 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!

We have been established for 24 years; distributing more than £60 million in grants to voluntary sector organisations across the county; supporting small charities to be sustainable and successful, and helping major donors maximise the impact of their donations.
Trustees are the volunteers who lead charities and decide how they are run; setting strategic plans, monitoring the performance, impact and sustainability of the charity and overseeing its governance. People of any age and background can be a trustee, and we're looking for people with specific experience to help us support communities in Kent. We are particularly interested in applications from people who are typically under-represented on trustee boards.

Trustee: Desirable skills
We are looking for applicants to have one or more of the following:
· Lived experience of the communities we work with and the issues which arise in our county
· Experience of grant making; either as a philanthropist, grant maker or grant applicant

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.
