Beacon for Rare Diseases hosts The Resources Hub, a 100% free and accessible e-learning platform created to support the rare disease community, including:

• Patient groups, patients and families
• Researchers and life science professionals
• Rare disease advocates

The Resources Hub brings together over 100 free resources, including written courses, video guides, webinars and recordings from events and conferences. These resources are designed to support people at every stage of their rare disease journey, whether they are just getting started or are part of a well-established organisation.

We are incredibly proud of the breadth and quality of what’s available on the Hub. However, much of our long-standing content is under-promoted, meaning that people don’t always find the right resource at the right time.

“The Resources Hub provides invaluable resources to help patient group leaders navigate challenges such as caring responsibilities, health issues, and employment.”

“It breaks down topics relevant to the rare community in a way that's easy to digest and empowering to take action!”

We are looking for a social media volunteer to help us shine a light on the wealth of content already available within the Resources Hub.

In this role, you will:

• Help us build a reusable library of social media posts that we can draw on to promote resources when they are most relevant

This role is about helping people discover support that already exists, making it easier for patient groups and advocates to find information that could make a real difference to their work.

--

Who this role would suit

This is a specific, project-based placement and would suit someone who already has experience in communications, social media or content creation.

You’ll be someone who:

• Enjoys writing clear, engaging social media copy
• Understands how to adapt messaging across different platforms
• Is comfortable working independently and managing their own time
• Can take guidance on tone and branding and run with it

While we don’t have capacity to provide training, you won’t be left on your own. We will:

• Provide clear direction on priorities and approach
• Share brand guidance and examples
• Review initial work to make sure everything feels aligned
• Have routine check-ins, provide feedback, and an end-of-placement review

--

Time commitment and flexibility

​This is a fully remote volunteering role, which we ideally hope can be completed within around three months. We anticipate a minimum commitment of approximately two hours per week, though a shorter, more intensive placement could also be arranged to suit the volunteer. We are open to having more than one volunteer on this project and do not expect a single person to work through the entire Hub.

Please note: we are looking for this placement to begin as soon as possible.

Why volunteer with Beacon?

By volunteering with Beacon, you will:

• Help improve access to free, high-quality resources for the rare disease community

VOLUNTEER ROLE: COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

Lead the Voice of a Movement Built for Men

MINDSET isn’t just a charity. It’s a cultural shift. A brotherhood. A mission to redefine what strength looks like for men across England.

We speak to men in a way that feels real — through action, honesty, challenge, and connection. No jargon. No judgment. No shame. Just real conversations, real growth, and real change.

Now we’re looking for a Communications Manager who can take that voice and amplify it — across communities, across platforms, across the country.

If you’re someone who believes in the power of storytelling, who understands how words can change lives, and who wants to help men feel seen, heard, and understood — this role is for you.

Why This Role Matters

Men are struggling in silence. Men are carrying weight they never talk about. Men are searching for spaces where they can be honest, vulnerable, and strong.

Your work will help:

• Break the silence around men’s mental health

• Challenge stigma and stereotypes

• Share stories that inspire courage and connection

• Build a national voice for preventative men’s wellbeing

• Bring men into a movement that feels like home

This isn’t just communications. This is impact. This is identity. This is giving men their voice back.

What You’ll Lead

As our Communications Manager, you will:

• Shape and lead MINDSET’s communications strategy across all channels

• Craft powerful, honest, human‑centred storytelling that reflects our mission

• Manage social media, newsletters, campaigns, and public messaging

• Work with the Head of External Affairs to amplify our national voice

• Support service teams by sharing stories from workshops, programmes, and events

• Build a consistent brand tone rooted in honesty, courage, and brotherhood

• Create content that speaks directly to men — in language they actually respond to

• Help position MINDSET as a leader in men’s wellbeing and personal growth

You’ll be the storyteller behind the movement.

Who We’re Looking For

• A passion for communication, storytelling, and human connection

• Strong writing skills and a feel for authentic, emotional messaging

• An understanding of social media and digital engagement

• A belief in preventative mental health and positive masculinity

• Emotional intelligence and a people‑first mindset

• A desire to help shape a national movement

• The courage to speak up for men who feel they can’t

If you’ve ever thought, “Men deserve to be heard — and I want to help tell their stories,” then you already understand the heart of this role.

What You’ll Be Part Of

MINDSET is building:

• Peer‑led support groups across England

• Action‑based wellbeing programmes

• Workshops that build resilience, confidence, and emotional strength

• Talk Zones in barbershops, gyms, and workplaces

• A digital platform for mental fitness and personal growth

• A national movement that redefines strength, vulnerability, and brotherhood

Your voice will help carry this movement into the world.

What You’ll Gain

This is a volunteer role — but the impact is real and lasting.

You’ll gain:

• Leadership experience in communications and brand storytelling

• A powerful portfolio of mission‑driven content

• The chance to shape the public identity of a growing national charity

• A supportive team that feels like a brotherhood

• A role that grows with you as the movement expands

• The knowledge that your words helped change — and even save — lives

If This Mission Speaks to You… Step Forward.

Men need us. Men need you. And together, we can build something powerful — something that helps men not just survive, but thrive.

Apply now. Join the movement. Reset the mindset — for others, and for yourself.
