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.
To empower men across England to take charge of their mental wellbeing and personal growth through connection, conversation, and community.

Emerge Worldwide is seeking a strategic and creative Social Media Lead to lead — and actively deliver — our digital communications.
This role is both strategic and practical. You will design content, publish content, host online discussions and actively manage platforms.
You will lead and set clear strategy, direction and plans for Emerge Worldwide’s Social Media communications, create engaging content, supervise the Team and encourage community mobilisation.
You will work closely with the Communications Deprtamnet and colloborate with the Education, Events & Fundraising and Policy departments and external stakeholders.
Strategy & Direction
Design, create and publish high-quality digital content across platforms.
Work closely with the Communications Department to ensure:
Alignment with policy and campaign messaging
Collaborate with all Emerge Worldwide departments
Analytics & Growth
What are we looking for?
What difference will you make?
The Social Media Lead plays a strategic and safeguarding-critical role in advancing Emerge Worldwide’s mission to prevent grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
This role is not simply about posting content. It is about shaping narrative, increasing prevention, strengthening partnerships and ensuring that women and girls encounter accurate, trauma-informed information in digital spaces.
Through a clear digital strategy and consistent messaging, the Social Media Lead strengthens Emerge Worldwide’s credibility and national voice. A strong online presence builds trust with survivors, professionals, schools, corporates and policymakers — opening doors for training, partnerships and funding that directly support prevention and empowerment initiatives.
Consistent, high-quality posting has preventative impact. Educational content about red flags, online grooming, coercive control and intersectional vulnerabilities can help young people recognise harmful behaviour earlier. Parents, carers and teachers may identify warning signs sooner. Increased awareness can interrupt exploitation before it escalates.
Collaboration with the Communications Department ensures language is trauma-informed and safeguarding-aware. Sensitive issues are handled ethically, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation and creating a digital environment where survivors feel seen, respected and safe.
Cross-department collaboration ensures campaigns, policy work, education programmes and fundraising initiatives are amplified effectively. This leads to increased attendance at training, stronger campaign mobilisation, greater public engagement and enhanced funding — all of which contribute to tangible protection and support for vulnerable girls and young women.
By analysing performance data, the Social Media Lead helps Emerge Worldwide reach high-risk demographics more effectively. Data-informed decisions improve targeting, engagement and resource allocation, ensuring messaging reaches those most vulnerable.
In summary, the outcomes of this role contribute directly to early identification, public education, cultural awareness and increased access to prevention services. The Social Media Lead helps transform awareness into action — strengthening Emerge Worldwide’s impact in advocating for women and girls against grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
To apply: Please submit your CV and cover letter/email
Raising awareness and prevention on sexual exploitation & sex trafficking. Amplifying our voice until freedom is experienced for all women and girls.
