Mindjurny Partnerships Representative (Commission-Only) -UK wide opportunities

Location: UK wide opportunities (Remote + Field-Based)

Type: Commission-Only / Self-Employed

Earnings: Uncapped commission

About CHUMS & Why We Developed Mindjurny

Across the UK, mental health difficulties among children and young people (CYP) are at record levels. Schools, local authorities, and the NHS are under increasing pressure to provide early, effective emotional wellbeing support.

At CHUMS, we have supported thousands of CYP through mental health, emotional wellbeing and bereavement services. From this frontline experience, we recognised a growing need for accessible, preventative tools that can reach more CYP, earlier — wherever they are.

That’s why we created Mindjurny: a digital wellbeing platform offering evidence-based video workshops, practical resources, and activities to help young people manage anxiety, grief, sleep, self-esteem, low mood, bereavement and emotional regulation.

Mindjurny allows schools, local authorities, and healthcare partners to provide consistent, high-quality, evidence based emotional wellbeing support at scale — and every licence sold helps to fund CHUMS’ wider mental health services.

The Role

We’re seeking a compassionate, confident, and purpose-driven Partnerships Representative to expand Mindjurny’s reach across the North of England.

This commission-only role is ideal for someone who’s not just commercially minded, but truly passionate about improving the emotional wellbeing of CYP. You’ll be engaging with Local Authorities, NHS and ICB networks, schools, safeguarding boards, and community health partnerships, helping them adopt Mindjurny as part of their wellbeing strategies.

Your work will help entire regions build resilience and provide early mental health support — while directly funding CHUMS’ charitable mission.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and develop partnerships with Local Authorities, NHS/ICB bodies, schools, and community organisations.
  • Present Mindjurny to decision-makers, showing its value for prevention, early intervention, and safeguarding outcomes.
  • Build relationships with wellbeing leads, public health teams, education officers, and commissioning groups.
  • Negotiate and close partnership agreements and licensing packages.
  • Collaborate with CHUMS’ leadership to shape local rollout and impact reporting.
  • Represent CHUMS and Mindjurny professionally and empathetically in all engagements.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven experience in business development, partnerships, or stakeholder engagement (education, health, or public sector ideal).
  • Excellent relationship-building and communication skills with senior leaders.
  • A genuine passion for helping young people and supporting mental health.
  • Confidence presenting to public sector audiences (councils, NHS, education bodies).
  • Self-motivation, persistence, and the ability to work independently.
  • A values-driven mindset — someone who believes in the power of giving and purpose-led work

What You’ll Gain

  • Uncapped commission — the more impact you create, the more you earn.
  • Flexible, autonomous working across your region.
  • Full training on Mindjurny’s content, outcomes, and partnership model.
  • The opportunity to play a key role in improving mental health at scale.
  • Personal fulfilment — knowing that every partnership helps fund CHUMS’ direct support services for children and families.

How to Apply

If you’re a relationship-builder who wants your work to change lives, we’d love to hear from you.

Clinical Sessional/Bank staff

CHUMS is an innovative, dynamic and employee owned Social Enterprise.  CHUMS left the NHS in 2011 to become an independent Social Enterprise across Luton & Bedfordshire, affording more freedom to offer its services in a way that best suits the needs of children, young people and families.

We’ve come a long way since then and now we are looking for practitioners and therapists keen to look for part-time/flexible hours and exciting development opportunities to join our great cohort of sessional bank staff. We hope to work with sessional staff to identify interests and match skills to ongoing/upcoming projects to provide high quality support.

Currently CHUMS has a range of commissioned, charitable and bespoke delivery that frequently requires us to have a well established team of experienced staff we can trust and call upon to help us flex to meet the needs of our communities. This might include:

  • Low or high intensity therapies in a range of modalities
  • Working with children, adults and/or families
  • Triage, consultation or training
  • Clinical supervision/Staff reflective spaces
  • Management tasks
  • Targeted service development tasks e.g. therapeutic group development
  • Face to face or virtual working

Some roles will have the potential to become fixed/longer-term and this would be discussed with candidates at recruitment or as opportunities arise.

We are looking for candidates that are interested in taking on new things (with support); using the range of their skills; have enough experience to adapt to what can be quite a fast paced organisation and most importantly embody the CHUMS values of: (A) Accessibility, (C) Compassion and (E) Effectiveness. We feel that working for a social enterprise and/or charity like CHUMS provides a unique working environment where we all care deeply and are often experts by experience as well through training, although this is not mandatory. Consequently we live and breathe person centred care which requires us to be extremely supportive of each other.

For those that are interested we can either receive your application and provide a generic clinical competency interview to keep you on our bank for upcoming opportunities or please feel free to enquire about current opportunities before you apply. If you would like to arrange to speak to one of our HR team, please call Michaela on 01525 863924.
