HEAD OF PEOPLE & CULTURE – VOLUNTEER

Shape the culture. Build the brotherhood. Lead the people powering a new movement in men’s wellbeing.

Most men don’t want to sit in a circle and “talk about their feelings.” They want challenge. They want action. They want brotherhood. They want to grow — without feeling like they’re in therapy.

MINDSET is the brand‑new men’s wellbeing charity built around exactly that. We’re creating a tribe where men step up, show up, and level up — through real‑world connection, shared experiences, and practical, stigma‑free support that actually works.

And now we’re looking for a Head of People & Culture who can build the beating heart of this movement — the people, the values, and the culture that make MINDSET feel like home.

This role is for the leader who…

• Knows how to build culture, not just manage people.

• Can create an environment where men feel motivated, respected, and part of something bigger.

• Understands how to recruit, support, and empower volunteers at every level.

• Thrives on shaping values, behaviours, and belonging.

• Can turn a bold mission into a lived, everyday experience.

• Leads with empathy, clarity, and emotional intelligence.

• Believes men deserve better — and wants to build the team that delivers it.

If you’re the kind of person who sees people as the engine of a movement, not an afterthought, you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Building

Culture is everything. It’s how we show up. How we treat each other. How we lead. How we grow.

As Head of People & Culture, you’ll design and lead the systems, structures, and spirit that make MINDSET a place men want to be part of.

You’ll shape:

• Volunteer recruitment and onboarding that feels energising, not corporate.

• A culture of brotherhood, accountability, and growth.

• Training and development pathways that build confidence and capability.

• Values‑driven leadership behaviours across the charity.

• Safeguarding‑aware, wellbeing‑focused practices that keep everyone safe.

• Recognition, support, and retention systems that make people feel valued.

• A diverse, inclusive environment where every man feels he belongs.

This isn’t HR. This is culture‑building. This is movement‑building.

Why This Matters

Men are struggling in silence. Traditional services aren’t reaching them. And too many organisations feel cold, clinical, or disconnected.

We’re building something different — a space where men feel seen, supported, and part of a tribe.

Your work will shape the experience every volunteer, every leader, and every participant has with MINDSET. You’ll be the architect of the environment that helps men grow, connect, and thrive.

What You’ll Gain

• A defining leadership role in a charity at its very beginning.

• The chance to build a culture from scratch — and watch it grow.

• A brotherhood of passionate volunteers who believe in the mission.

• Real influence, real responsibility, and real legacy.

• The satisfaction of knowing your work is changing — and saving — lives.

If you’re ready to build the culture behind a movement…

• If you want to shape people, not just processes…
• If you want to help men thrive, not just cope…
• If you want to be part of a charity that finally speaks the language men respond to…

We want to hear from you.

Apply now and help us build the future of men’s wellbeing.
