Description
About us
Rest Less is a social impact start-up that helps and inspires a generation of over 50s to get more out of life. There are 20m individuals aged between 50 and 70 in the UK and this population is set to boom over the next decade.
Today's 50 year olds are fundamentally healthier and more active than ever before, yet are still unrepresented across so many dimensions. We're here to challenge outdated stereotypes of age in both the workplace and in wider society.
Since we launched Rest Less in late 2018, we have successfully built a trusted and respected brand. We have over 450k members, with a target to reach 1 million by the end of 2021.
As we build out our growth plans, an exciting opportunity has arisen within our team for a humble, passionate and ambitious Lead Front-End Engineer.
