Remote | Approx. 3 hours per week | MINDSET Charity (UK)

Lead the voice, story, and national presence of a movement transforming men’s lives

MINDSET is building a new kind of men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth movement in the UK — one built on action, challenge, brotherhood, and real‑world transformation. We’re here to change the narrative for men, and we need a powerful, strategic communicator to help take this mission nationwide.

This is your chance to shape the public face of a charity that is ready to grow, ready to be seen, and ready to make a real difference.

Why This Role Matters

MINDSET’s programmes change men’s lives — but the country won’t feel that impact unless our story is told boldly, clearly, and consistently.

As Head of Marketing & Communications, you will be the architect of how MINDSET shows up in the world. Your leadership will help us:

• Reach men who need us

• Inspire volunteers to join us

• Build trust with partners and communities

• Establish MINDSET as a national voice for men’s wellbeing

This is a founding leadership role — you will help define the brand, tone, and public presence of MINDSET from the ground up.

• Oversee messaging for campaigns, programmes, events, and recruitment

• Support fundraising and partnership communications

• Guide a small team of volunteers (designers, social media leads, content creators) as the charity grows

• Ensure everything we publish reflects our mission, values, and tone

This role is remote, flexible, and ideal for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact in just a few hours each week.

Who This Role Is Perfect For

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• A natural storyteller who understands how to move people

• Strategic, creative, and confident shaping a brand from scratch

• Experienced in marketing, communications, social media, or content creation

• Passionate about men’s wellbeing, personal growth, and community

• Excited by the idea of helping build a national movement

• Someone who loves turning ideas into campaigns that resonate

You do not need charity experience. You simply need experience and clarity, creativity, and a desire to help men live fuller, healthier lives.

What You’ll Be Part Of

MINDSET is redefining what men’s wellbeing can look like in the UK. We’re building a movement that helps men grow through:

• Challenge

• Accountability

• Brotherhood

• Purpose

• Real‑world action

Your work will ensure that this message reaches the men who need it most — and that MINDSET becomes a recognised, trusted, national presence.

If you want to help put MINDSET on the map across the UK…

We’d love to hear from you. Join us and help shape the voice of a movement built to change men’s lives.
