Programme Manager – Life Coaching Programme (VOLUNTEER ROLE)
Remote | Approx. 4 hours per week | MINDSET Charity (UK)
Transforming men’s mental wellbeing through action, challenge, and real‑world connection
MINDSET is building a new kind of men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth movement in the UK — one that speaks the language men actually respond to: doing, belonging, challenge, and shared purpose. We’re not clinical. We’re not corporate. We’re not another “sit in a circle and talk about your feelings” model. We create experiences that help men grow, connect, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
And now, we’re looking for a Programme Manager to lead and develop our Life Coaching Programme — a powerful, supportive journey that helps men gain clarity, confidence, and direction.
Why This Role Matters
Our Life Coaching Programme is where men slow down, reflect, and start making meaningful changes in their lives. It’s where they build self‑awareness, set goals, and reconnect with who they want to become. Every breakthrough conversation, every shift in mindset, every moment of clarity depends on strong programme leadership.
Your work will shape the structure, delivery, and impact of the programme. You’ll ensure participants feel supported, guided, and part of a community that believes in them. You’ll help create a coaching experience that genuinely changes lives.
This is a founding role. You will help build and refine a programme that will support men across the UK for years to come.
What You’ll Lead
As our Programme Manager, you will:
-
Oversee the full delivery of the Life Coaching Programme
-
Support participants through their coaching journey, ensuring they feel guided and encouraged
-
Work closely with volunteer coaches to coordinate sessions and maintain quality
-
Help refine coaching materials, structure, and participant experience
-
Track engagement, progress, and outcomes to improve the programme over time
-
Create a warm, stigma‑free environment where men feel safe to grow
-
Help build a movement that changes the way men experience personal development in this country
This role is remote, flexible, and designed for someone who wants to make a real impact in just a few hours each week.
Who This Role Is Perfect For
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
-
Someone who loves supporting people through growth, reflection, and personal change
-
Organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple moving parts
-
A natural listener who brings calm, clarity, and structure to a group
-
Passionate about men’s wellbeing, personal development, and community
-
Excited by the idea of shaping a national movement from its earliest days
You do not need charity experience. You do not need formal coaching or programme‑management qualifications. You just need heart, initiative, and a desire to help men live fuller, healthier lives.
What You’ll Be Part Of
MINDSET is creating a new narrative for men in the UK — one built on strength, connection, and growth. Your leadership will directly support:
-
Our Life Coaching Programme (your primary focus)
-
Our 12‑Week Self‑Improvement Programme
-
Future activity‑based wellbeing programmes and challenges
You’ll be helping to build a movement that gives men the tools, confidence, and community they’ve been missing.
If you want to help build something bold, needed, and genuinely life‑changing…
We’d love to hear from you. Join us and help shape the coaching programme at the heart of MINDSET.
To empower men across England to take charge of their mental wellbeing and personal growth through connection, conversation, and community.
