14 days ago60 proposalsRemoteSecondary school contact data gap-fill
I have a spreadsheet of 67 secondary UK schools where I need to identify, by name, the people who sit in six specific roles at each school — and find their verified work email address. You will be filling in a pre-built spreadsheet I provide. Most of the work is done — the school list, websites, addresses, phone numbers and which roles still need finding are all already mapped. Your job is to look up the names and verify the emails. The 6 roles per school Head Teacher Cover Manager (the day-to-day supply booker) School Business Manager (SBM) Head Teacher's PA / Office Manager Deputy or Assistant Head (with a staffing or cover portfolio if possible) SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) What you'll deliver The same spreadsheet I send you, with every red "FIND" cell filled in using one of three formats: Verified name | verified email — for example: Sample Postholder | s.postholder@exampleschool.org.uk NAME FOUND — EMAIL NOT VERIFIED | [name] — if you can identify the postholder but cannot get a verified email NOT FOUND — if no current postholder can be confirmed after a proper search There are approximately 240 individual cells to fill across the 67 schools. Not every school needs all 6 — some roles are already covered and marked HAVE in green; just skip those. You will need to have access to a range of software and resources to support you as these email addresses are not simply on the school website - therefore research and effort will be required to find and source correct validated emails.

UK Civil Litigation Lawyer for Commercial Lease Dispute Strategy
We are seeking a highly competent legal professional or legal consultancy team to assist with a UK-based civil litigation matter involving a commercial landlord-tenant dispute, contractual obligations under a lease/guarantee, evidential issues, potential appeal considerations, and related company/asset concerns. The matter is connected to proceedings in England and Wales. Therefore, applicants must have strong working knowledge of English civil litigation procedure, UK landlord and tenant law, contractual disputes, evidential rules, small claims/county court procedure, and appeal-review standards. We are open to international applicants, but applicants must be able to demonstrate either: 1. current qualification and authorisation as a solicitor, barrister, chartered legal executive, or other regulated legal professional in England and Wales; or 2. substantial, verifiable experience advising on English civil litigation and landlord-tenant disputes, ideally under or alongside UK-qualified lawyers. This project is for legal review, advisory support, litigation strategy, document review, risk analysis, and preparation of structured recommendations. It is not automatically an instruction for court representation, reserved legal activity, or advocacy unless separately agreed with an appropriately authorised UK legal professional. We require a calm, structured, evidence-led review. The successful applicant must avoid assumptions, emotional language, or unsupported allegations. The work must be legally disciplined and focused on practical options. Required Professional Profile The ideal candidate should have experience in one or more of the following: • England and Wales civil litigation; • County Court and small claims procedure; • commercial landlord and tenant disputes; • commercial lease disputes; • contractual liability and guarantor issues; • appeal merits review; • procedural fairness and evidential irregularity; • expert evidence and technical evidence issues; • enforcement/stay of enforcement; • company strike-off, asset tracing, creditor protection, or insolvency-related issues; • legal drafting and litigation strategy. Preference will be given to candidates who are: • SRA-regulated solicitors of England and Wales; • barristers authorised to practise in England and Wales, including public access barristers where appropriate; • Chartered Legal Executives or CILEX Practitioners authorised in relevant areas; • experienced UK civil litigation consultants working under appropriate legal supervision; • senior paralegals/legal researchers with demonstrable UK litigation experience, provided the limits of their role are made clear. Important Requirements The successful applicant must: • confirm their exact legal qualification/status; • provide regulator details or register link where applicable; • confirm whether they are authorised to give legal advice in England and Wales; • confirm whether they hold professional indemnity insurance, where applicable; • confirm any limitations on their role; • complete a conflict check before reviewing confidential documents; • sign or agree to confidentiality obligations; • work strictly from evidence and documents; • avoid defamatory or unsupported conclusions; • distinguish clearly between legal advice, litigation strategy, factual assumptions, and matters requiring further evidence. Initial Engagement Structure We prefer a staged engagement: Phase 1: Preliminary Review Review a limited document pack and produce an initial merits/risk memorandum. Phase 2: Detailed Legal Strategy If appropriate, undertake a deeper review of pleadings, court orders, transcript, evidence bundle, company records, and appeal/stay options. Phase 3: Drafting Support If appropriate, assist with drafting or reviewing: • appeal permission application materials; • stay application; • evidence chronology; • solicitor/barrister instructions; • company strike-off objection; • formal correspondence; • structured case summary. Representation or reserved legal activity will only be considered separately and only where the professional is appropriately authorised. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is precise, calm, litigation-minded, and experienced in England and Wales civil procedure. We are not looking for generic legal commentary. We need a practical legal review with clear priorities, procedural accuracy, and a realistic assessment of risk. Candidates who have experience with County Court appeals, commercial lease disputes, procedural unfairness arguments, expert evidence issues, or judgment-enforcement strategy are particularly encouraged to apply.
