Ready to arm our team with the tools to change lives?
At MINDSET, we’re not interested in ticking boxes or sitting through boring PowerPoints. We are a brand-new start-up shaking up men’s mental wellbeing across England and Wales—and we need a Training Lead who knows how to turn potential into performance.
We’re looking for someone who can take our volunteers, induct them into the MINDSET way, and give them the genuine skills and confidence they need to be world-class in their roles.
The Mission:
- The Deep Dive: Lead the induction process, ensuring every volunteer "gets" our mission and culture from hour one.
- The Toolkit: Design and deliver training that provides practical, real-world skills—not just theory.
- The Edge: Provide the ongoing tools and support that help our team stay sharp and be the best at what they do.
The Vibe:
We’re non-clinical, non-therapeutic, and 100% focused on growth. This is your chance to build a training programme from the ground up in a high-energy, zero-fluff environment.
Sound like you?
If you’re a natural coach with the experience to empower others and a passion for men’s personal growth, we need you on the ground floor.
Apply to lead our Training
To empower men across England to take charge of their mental wellbeing and personal growth through connection, conversation, and community.
