Join the Brotherhood: Your Compassion Can Build a Legacy!

Imagine a world where every man feels strong enough to be vulnerable. Where asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, but an act of profound courage. At MINDSET Charity, we're not just imagining it – we're building it, and we need you to make it real.

The silence surrounding men's struggles is a crisis that breaks hearts and costs lives. Sadly, suicide remains the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. Behind every statistic is a man, a son, a father, a friend, battling alone. MINDSET is here to change that. We're a brand new start-up charity, forging a brotherhood to inform, guide, and support men, empowering their mental well-being and self-improvement through vital services, events, and a powerful community.

This is your chance to be at the very beginning of something extraordinary. We're not just looking for volunteers; we're seeking pioneers with a burning desire to create a lasting impact. We need your heart, your skills, and your unwavering belief to help us get set up and launched, providing much-needed services to men in need across the UK.

Your passion, right now, can lay the foundation for a future where no man walks his journey alone.

This pivotal Volunteer Graphic Designer role is for someone who understands that design is more than aesthetics; it's communication that cuts through the noise. You will be instrumental in crafting our visual voice, creating materials that not only look incredible but also carry the weight of our mission, touching hearts and opening minds.

Imagine the profound impact: Your designs will be the visual handshake for men seeking support, the engaging invitation for potential volunteers, and the professional face that attracts vital partnerships. Every leaflet, social media post, and website graphic you create will directly contribute to building awareness, fostering connection, and ensuring Mindset's message reaches those who need it most.

Key Responsibilities:

• Brand Identity Development & Application: Work with the team to refine and consistently apply Mindset's visual brand guidelines across all platforms and materials.

• Marketing & Campaign Graphics: Design impactful visuals for social media posts, online campaigns, digital adverts, and promotional banners that tell our story and encourage engagement.

• Website & Digital Assets: Create compelling graphics, icons, and layouts for our website, ensuring it is visually appealing, user-friendly, and reflective of our brand.

• Print Materials: Design brochures, leaflets, posters, and other print collateral for events, outreach, and fundraising activities.

• Workshop & Resource Design: Develop clear, engaging, and professional layouts for workshop materials, guides, and self-help resources.

• Event & Fundraising Collateral: Create visuals for event signage, fundraising appeals, and partnership presentations.

• Visual Storytelling: Translate complex messages about mental health and self-improvement into accessible, empathetic, and inspiring visual narratives.

Are you ready to be a part of this incredible journey? We are building a charity, and we need your help and support.

Reach out today and tell us how you want to make a difference. Email your CV and a heartfelt message about why you're drawn to Mindset Charity.

Together, we can build a stronger Mindset. Together, we can save lives.

TESYouth (Training, Employment Opportunities & Social Development for Youth) is a NFP social enterprise which focuses on improving the rate of youth employment, through volunteering, interactive and skill-based workshops, work-experience and training programmes. Together with our strategic partners, we collaborate with organisations to provide youth to develop their skills, and to assist in achieving their career aspirations.

Every day, neurodivergent people in the legal profession face misunderstanding, outdated assumptions, and well-meaning but misguided "support." We're building something different - a charity that gets the science right, speaks with authority, and creates change based on evidence rather than good intentions.

We need someone who understands what neurodiversity really is - professionally, academically, maybe personally, to be our compass and our credibility.

What we're looking for

We need a neurodiversity specialist who can be our knowledge foundation - someone whose expertise ensures everything we do is grounded in current understanding and best practice.

Your background might include:

• Professional expertise in neurodivergence through psychology, neuroscience, education, occupational therapy, or related fields

• Deep knowledge of current research and evidence base around neurodivergence

• Understanding of the real challenges neurodivergent people face in professional environments

• The ability to translate complex concepts into language that lawyers (and everyone else) can understand

• Genuine commitment to making the legal profession work better for neurodivergent people

What would be brilliant (but not essential):

• Hands-on experience working with or advocating for neurodivergent individuals

• Academic qualifications or research experience in relevant areas

• Knowledge of workplace adjustments and inclusive employment practices

• Understanding of career progression challenges in professional settings

• Experience in education, training, or public awareness work

• Personal lived experience of neurodivergence (valued but not required)

What you'll be doing

This isn't about lending your name to our letterhead. You'll be actively shaping everything we put out into the world:

Being our quality control:

• Reviewing all our educational materials, resources, and communications to ensure they're factually accurate

• Keeping us current with evolving research and best practices

• Making sure our language is appropriate, respectful, and up-to-date

• Helping us spot and counter misinformation before it takes hold

Guiding our strategy:

• Providing specialist input on how we approach neurodiversity promotion in the legal profession

• Advising on the most effective methods for raising genuine awareness and understanding

• Supporting the development of educational programs that actually work

• Identifying where we can make the biggest impact

Building our credibility:

• Helping establish partnerships with respected neurodiversity organisations, researchers, and experts

• Supporting our reputation as a source that legal professionals can trust

• Advising on collaboration opportunities with academic institutions and healthcare professionals

Supporting our people:

• Providing guidance to our neurodivergent volunteers in their advocacy work

• Ensuring volunteer-led initiatives are built on solid understanding

• Advising on accessible and inclusive team management practices

The need-to-know

Time commitment: Around 4-8 hours per month - one monthly trustee meeting plus the specialist input that makes the difference, and the occasional extra task that crops up. 

Term: We're looking for a minimum 2-year commitment initially, which then becomes a rolling 1-year term subject to the constitutional requirements. 

When we meet: We will be setting our meeting dates at the start of the organisation's year (October 2025) so everyone can plan ahead. 

Next steps:

• Applications close: 5 September 2025 at 17:00

• Interview dates: TBC - dependent on application numbers

• Next board meeting: TBC

Why this role matters

The legal profession is finally starting to talk about neurodiversity. But too often, the conversation is happening without the depth of understanding it deserves. Myths persist, outdated language gets used, and initiatives are built on shaky foundations.

Your expertise doesn't just add value to our work - it protects the people we're trying to help from being let down by another well-meaning but uninformed initiative.

What We Offer in Return

• Real influence: Your knowledge directly shapes our approach and ensures our impact is positive

• Professional recognition: Work with a charity that's building a reputation for getting it right

• Meaningful connections: Network with other professionals who share your commitment to evidence-based change

• Flexibility: We’re a team of working professionals and always work around professional commitments

• Support: Join a board that values expertise and provides genuine collaboration

• Development opportunities: Expand your governance experience and charity sector knowledge

• Recognition: References, recommendations, and opportunities to speak on topics you care about

• Expenses covered: We reimburse reasonable costs related to your trustee work

Whether your expertise comes from clinical practice, academic research, educational settings, or lived experience combined with professional knowledge, if you care about ensuring neurodiversity initiatives are built on solid foundations, we want to hear from you.

Application deadline: 5 September 2025 at 17:00

We're committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and welcome applications from all backgrounds. If you need any support with your application, please let us know.
