Commitment: Minimum 4 hours per week
Help Build the Engine Behind MINDSET Charity
Poor mental health can affect anyone — but men and boys are often less likely to talk about how they feel. Many carry their struggles quietly, without the support, tools or safe spaces they need to grow.
MINDSET Charity is being built to change that.
We’re a London‑based start‑up charity in our concept and set‑up stage, creating a movement that empowers men and boys to develop stronger mindsets, healthier habits and positive futures through action‑based wellbeing. No therapy. Just growth, reflection and real‑world tools that help men become the best version of themselves.
To turn this vision into reality, we’re recruiting an Operations Director (Volunteer) to join our Senior Leadership Team — someone who can help us build the operational foundations, systems and processes that will make MINDSET Charity a success.
This is your chance to shape the operational heartbeat of a charity before it launches.
What You’ll Lead
As Operations Director, you’ll play a key role in:
-
Designing and developing our early operational systems
-
Creating structure, processes and workflows that support growth
-
Helping prepare MINDSET for Trustee recruitment and formal governance
-
Supporting programme development and operational delivery
-
Coordinating teams, volunteers and early-stage projects
-
Building partnerships, networks and community connections
-
Ensuring MINDSET is ready to launch with clarity, efficiency and impact
If you have connections in London, that’s a huge advantage — but passion, organisation and belief in our mission matter most.
Who We’re Looking For
Someone who:
-
Has experience in operations, project management or organisational development
-
Thrives in start‑up environments and enjoys building structure from scratch
-
Can think strategically while managing practical day‑to‑day needs
-
Communicates clearly, confidently and compassionately
-
Believes deeply in men’s mental health and positive male role models
-
Can give at least 4 hours per week (more if possible)
-
Wants to help create a charity that will genuinely change lives
You don’t need charity sector experience — just initiative, leadership and a desire to make a meaningful impact.
Why Join Us?
- Because this is more than a role — it’s a chance to help build a charity that will support men and boys for years to come.
- Because your operational leadership will shape our future, our programmes and our impact.
- Because you’ll be part of a movement that empowers men to grow, reflect and thrive.
- This is purpose.
- This is leadership.
- This is the beginning of something powerful — and we’d love you to help build it.
Apply now and help us build MINDSET Charity — one mindset, one action, one future at a time.
