About The Connection at St Martin’s

No one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets and everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home. 

This is an exciting time for The Connection.  Although rough sleeping is increasing on our streets, we believe we have the solutions.  To meet the growing need for our help, we need to secure more resources.  We are planning a new fundraising strategy so that we can save lives, work more closely with health services and get more people into long term accommodation.

About the Role

To achieve this, we are looking for more fundraising expertise at Board level.  We are looking for a senior fundraising professional to join our active and skilled board.  Ideally you are a Fundraising Director working in a successful medium to large charity, with strong knowledge of highly effective, innovative fundraising teams.  You will guide us to get the best from the resources we put in and steer further investment to support ambitious growth.

We have a particular interest in major donor and corporate fundraising as these are areas where we have the opportunities for growth.  We are also keen to build relationships with senior leaders at funder organisations and encourage them to act as ambassadors to promote our cause.

The Connection has very strong brand recognition for our size due to our location in the centre of London and our long standing relationship with the BBC through the Radio 4 Christmas Appeal.  Help us with our step change in fundraising so that we can make a huge difference to people sleeping rough on our streets.

Closing Date: Tuesday 5th May

VOLUNTEER ROLE: HEAD OF SERVICES

Lead the Frontline of a Movement Changing Men’s Lives

MINDSET isn’t just a charity. It’s a cultural shift. A brotherhood. A mission to redefine what strength looks like for men across the country.

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 Head of Services who can take the heart of our mission — our workshops, programmes, events, and peer‑led spaces — and turn them into a national force for good.

If you’re someone who believes in bold ideas, who cares deeply about impact, and who wants to build services that genuinely change lives, this role is calling your name.

Why This Role Matters

Every workshop. Every programme. Every Talk Zone. Every peer‑led group. Every moment where a man feels safe enough to open up, grow, and take a step forward…

It all starts with the services we deliver.

Your leadership will shape:

• The quality and consistency of every MINDSET experience

• The safety, structure, and impact of our frontline work

• The innovation behind new programmes and action‑based wellbeing models

• The training and support of facilitators, volunteers, and group leaders

• The national expansion of our movement

This isn’t operations. This is transformation.

You’ll be building the spaces where men change their lives.

What You’ll Lead

As our Head of Services, you will:

• Oversee all MINDSET services: workshops, events, programmes, peer support groups, and Talk Zones

• Develop new action‑based wellbeing models that speak men’s language

• Ensure every service is safe, inclusive, and aligned with our culture code

• Build frameworks, systems, and processes that support national growth

• Train and support facilitators, group leaders, and volunteers

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

• Work closely with the CEO and leadership team to shape long‑term strategy

• Champion our values — honesty, courage, growth, brotherhood, inclusion, action — in every service we deliver

You’ll be the architect of the MINDSET experience.

Who We’re Looking For

• A passion for men’s wellbeing and preventative mental health

• Strong organisational and leadership skills

• Experience in service delivery, programme design, or community work

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

• Emotional intelligence and a people‑first mindset

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

• A commitment to inclusion, safety, and impact

If you’ve ever thought, “Men deserve better support — 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 the country

• 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 isn’t a moment. It’s a movement.

What You’ll Gain

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

You’ll gain:

• Leadership experience shaping national service delivery

• The chance to build a charity’s frontline from the ground up

• A powerful portfolio in programme design, safeguarding, and impact

• A community of passionate, purpose‑driven people

• 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.

Apply now. Join the movement. Reset the mindset — for others, and for yourself.
