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.

VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR / MANAGER — URBAN YOUTH (HYBRID VOLUNTEER ROLE)

Lead the movement. Shape the culture. Build the crew.

Urban Youth is a brand new start‑up charity bringing street-based youth work, pop-ups, and high-energy support to young people across London. We’re taking over unused spaces, showing up where teens actually are, and building a youth work model that feels more like a street wear fashion drop than a service.

But every movement needs a heartbeat. A culture. A crew. And that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Volunteer Coordinator/Manager to lead our recruitment drive, build our volunteer programme from scratch, and shape the spirit of Urban Youth as we prepare for launch.

If you love people, thrive in start-up energy, and want to help build something meaningful from day one, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

As our Volunteer Coordinator/Manager, you’ll be the architect of our volunteer community — the person who turns enthusiasm into action and strangers into a family.

You’ll:

• Lead our volunteer recruitment drive across London and online

• Build our volunteer programme, pathways, and onboarding experience

• Shape a culture rooted in positivity, belonging, continuous improvement, and team spirit

• Support volunteers across street teams, pop-up crews, remote roles, and creative teams

• Develop simple, effective systems for communication, scheduling, and support

• Help create a volunteer experience that feels energising, empowering, and unforgettable

• Work closely with our leadership team to prepare Urban Youth for launch

This is a chance to design the volunteer journey from the ground up — the tone, the vibe, the rituals, the sense of community.

Who You Are

You don’t need years of experience — just the right energy, heart, and drive.

You might be:

• A natural people-person who loves building community

• Someone who thrives in fast-moving, creative environments

• A believer in youth work, inclusion, and giving young people a fair shot

• A builder — someone who enjoys shaping systems, culture, and teams

• A positive force who lifts others up and brings out their best

Most importantly, you care about creating a volunteer family where everyone feels valued, supported, and part of something bigger.

Why This Role Matters

Urban Youth is about to launch — and volunteers will be the engine behind everything we do.

You’ll be the one who:

• Sets the tone for our entire organisation

• Builds the team that powers our street work

• Creates a culture young people will feel the moment they meet us

• Helps transform an idea into a movement

This is a founding role. A legacy role. A chance to help write the first chapter of Urban Youth.

If you want to help build a charity from scratch — and shape a culture rooted in hope, energy, and community — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and become the heartbeat of Urban Youth.

VOLUNTEER ROLE: PROGRAMME MANAGER – LIFE COACHING

Lead a Coaching Journey That Helps Men Grow, Heal, and Thrive

MINDSET isn’t just a charity. It’s a movement. 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 building a powerful new offer: A Life Coaching Programme designed to help men build clarity, confidence, purpose, and emotional strength.

And we’re looking for a Programme Manager who can bring this coaching journey to life.

If you’re someone who believes in the power of personal development, who understands the impact of coaching, and who wants to help men unlock their potential — this role is for you.

It can help him:

• Break old patterns

• Build new habits

• Find direction

• Strengthen his mindset

• Improve relationships

• Step into the man he wants to become

Your leadership will shape:

• The quality and consistency of our coaching programme

• The experience men have from their first session to their final breakthrough

• The coaches and volunteers who deliver the journey

• The impact we measure and the stories we share

• The national rollout of a coaching model built for real men

This isn’t just programme management. This is transformation management.

What You’ll Lead

As our Programme Manager – Life Coaching, you will:

• Oversee the design, delivery, and development of MINDSET’s Life Coaching Programme

• Work with coaches to ensure sessions are safe, empowering, and aligned with our culture code

• Monitor engagement, outcomes, and feedback to drive continuous improvement

• Ensure the programme remains action‑based, stigma‑free, and accessible to all men

• Work closely with the Head of Services and leadership team to scale the programme nationally

• Champion our values — honesty, courage, growth, brotherhood, inclusion, action — in every coaching interaction

You’ll be the architect of a coaching journey that helps men step into their next chapter.

Who We’re Looking For

• A passion for men’s wellbeing and personal development

• Strong organisational and leadership skills

• Experience in coaching, mentoring, training, or programme delivery

• A belief in action‑based, stigma‑free approaches

• Emotional intelligence and a people‑first mindset

• A commitment to inclusion, safety, and impact

• The courage to build something bold, new, and needed

If you’ve ever thought, “Men deserve a space to grow — and I want to help build it,” 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

This coaching programme will be one of our most powerful tools for change.

What You’ll Gain

This is a volunteer role — but the impact is real and lasting.

You’ll gain:

• Leadership experience in coaching programme design and delivery

• The chance to shape a national personal development journey for men

• A powerful portfolio in wellbeing, coaching, and community impact

• A supportive team that feels like a brotherhood

• A role that grows with you as the movement expands

• The knowledge that your work 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.
