COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER @ REMIX

Tell the story. Build the hype. Amplify the movement.

REMIX is a youth charity with energy. We’re bold. We’re positive. We’re community-first. We back young Londoners with confidence, skills, networks, and opportunities to rise — on their terms, in their voice, with their power.

Now we’re looking for a Communications Manager who can help us share that energy with the world — someone who can turn our mission into messages that land, inspire, and spark movement.

We want someone who is:

• A natural storyteller with a feel for youth culture and community

• Creative, vibrant, and full of ideas that cut through the noise

• Confident writing for social media, newsletters, and campaigns

• Excited by branding, messaging, and building a public voice

• Passionate about using communication to uplift young people and shift systems

What you’ll actually do:

• Shape REMIX’s tone of voice and keep it youthful, bold, and positive

• Create social media content that feels modern, scroll‑stopping, and full of life

• Write posts, updates, newsletters, and stories that showcase our impact

• Build hype around our programmes, events, and opportunities

• Help develop campaign messaging that champions youth voice and social mobility

• Work with our designers, volunteers, and CEO to keep our comms aligned and exciting

• Make sure REMIX looks and sounds like the youth-powered movement it is

This is your chance to define how a movement speaks.

Why this role matters:

Young people deserve a charity that speaks their language — energetic, hopeful, unapologetically positive. Your words will help REMIX:

• Reach young people

• Inspire volunteers

• Engage partners

• Build a brand that feels modern, exciting, and community-powered

Your voice becomes part of the story young Londoners rise from.

Who this is perfect for:

• Creatives who love writing, storytelling, and social media

• People who vibe with youth culture, Shoreditch energy, and community impact

• Anyone who wants to use their communication skills for something meaningful

• People who want to help build a movement, not just a charity

If you’re ready to shape the voice of REMIX and amplify our mission — we want you.

Let’s build something powerful together.

REMIX

Are you ready to build a legacy that saves lives?

In England today, too many men are fighting silent battles. They are navigating the complexities of mental health and personal growth without a compass or a tribe. At MINDSET, we are changing that narrative. We believe that through brotherhood, community, and intentional self-improvement, every man can reclaim his strength and purpose.

We have the vision. We have the momentum. Now, we need the voice.

The Volunteer Opportunity: Communications Officer (Volunteer)

As our first-ever Communications Officer, you won’t just be "posting on socials"—you will be the architect of our energy. You will lead the charge in creating an exciting buzz around MINDSET, raising awareness for men’s mental wellbeing, and ensuring our mission is heard in every corner of England. You are the one who will take our message and make it a movement.

Who You Are

We aren't looking for a CV; we’re looking for a character. We need a storyteller who is:

• A Creative Catalyst: You have an entrepreneurial spirit and a knack for creating "buzz." You know how to capture attention and turn it into engagement.

• A People Person: You understand the power of connection. You can speak to men from all walks of life with authenticity, empathy, and a touch of wit.

• A Person of Action: You don’t wait for the news—you make it. You have the passion and dedication to elevate MINDSET from a brand-new charity to a household name.

• A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental health and believe that personal growth should be a conversation every man is proud to be part of.

The Volunteer Role

Working directly with the Founder and the Board, you will lead our external voice. You’ll manage our digital presence, create high-impact content, and build relationships that raise our profile. Your goal is simple but massive: make sure every man in England knows that MINDSET is here for him.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will have a blank canvas to build a brand identity that is bold, heart-felt, and modern. You’ll gain incredible experience in PR and brand management, but more importantly, your words could be the reason a man reaches out for help for the very first time.

"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us tell the story that changes the future for men across England."

If you have the creative spark to lead and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health by putting MINDSET on the map.

Volunteer Role: Graphic Designer (Brand Identity & Logo Lead)

Shape the visual heartbeat of a new movement.

Unlock YOUR Potential is launching in Newham and Tower Hamlets — and we’re looking for a creative, values‑driven Graphic Designer to help us evolve our brand identity and design a new logo that captures who we are: hopeful, human, and rooted in community.

We are a 100% volunteer‑led organisation supporting adults aged 18–67 who face barriers to employment, education, confidence, and wellbeing. Our programmes are trauma‑informed, community‑based, and built on care, dignity, and connection.

If you believe design can unlock emotion, identity, and belonging — this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

As our Graphic Designer (Brand Identity & Logo Lead), you will:

• Design a refreshed logo for Unlock YOUR Potential, keeping key elements of our current identity

  • Two‑tone orange palette

  • Arrow motif (potentially linked, unlocking, or evolving)

• Develop a simple, cohesive brand identity system that feels warm, modern, and community‑powered

• Create brand assets we can use across digital, print, social media, and volunteer recruitment

• Work closely with the CEO and volunteer team to ensure the brand reflects our mission, values, and trauma‑informed ethos

• Provide guidance on typography, colour usage, iconography, and visual tone

• Help shape the visual story of a movement designed to empower adults across East London

This is a creative leadership role where your work will define how our community sees, feels, and recognises us.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• A creative thinker with experience in graphic design, branding, or visual identity

• Confident designing logos, brand systems, and visual guidelines

• Skilled at translating values and emotions into visual language

• Excited to evolve an existing identity rather than starting from scratch

• Comfortable working collaboratively and iteratively

• Passionate about social impact, community empowerment, and inclusive design

Experience with charities, community organisations, or social movements is a bonus — but not essential.

Why Join Us

• Shape the visual identity of a new, community‑powered movement

• Create a logo and brand that will be seen across East London and beyond

• Work alongside people with lived experience, empathy, and heart

• Build a portfolio piece with real‑world impact

• Help adults who feel unseen and unsupported feel recognised and valued

• Organisational flair and a love of nurturing others

• Dedication to community, wellbeing, and social impact

• A collaborative spirit and a willingness to roll up their sleeves

As our inaugural Volunteer Coordinator / Manager, you will work closely with our Founder and CEO to recruit, support, and empower the volunteers who will bring SUNSHINE to life, ensuring every person who joins us feels welcomed, valued, and inspired.

What you’ll help us build

• A joyful, diverse, and committed volunteer community.

• Supportive systems that help volunteers thrive.

• Training, onboarding, and communication pathways that feel warm and human.

• Volunteer teams for our pilot programmes — from wellbeing workshops to community meet-ups.

• A culture rooted in compassion, connection, and hope.

• A movement that reaches across London and beyond.

This is more than a role, it’s a chance to help write the opening chapter of a charity designed to lift people up, brighten lives, and transform communities.

Why SUNSHINE?

Because we believe in:

• Joy as a form of care

• Community as a source of strength

• Connection as a human right

• People as the heart of everything we do

If you’re someone who leads with purpose, dreams boldly, and wants to make a real difference, we would love to meet you.

Ready to help us bring more SUNSHINE into the world?

Let’s build something beautiful together — one smile, one moment, one community at a time.
