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.
