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 board. Now, we need the Growth Architect.

The Volunteer Opportunity: Business Development Manager (Volunteer)

As our first-ever Business Development Manager, you won’t just be "finding leads"—you will be the engine of our expansion. You will identify opportunities for growth, forge strategic partnerships, and secure the relationships that will put MINDSET on the map across every city in England. You are the one who turns our mission into a sustainable, national movement.

Who You Are

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

• A Natural Entrepreneur: You thrive in a "start-up" environment. You see a new charity and immediately start mapping out how to scale its impact.

• A Master Connector: You have the people skills to walk into any room—be it a corporate boardroom or a community hub—and inspire people to get behind our cause.

• A Person of Action: You are results-oriented. You have the passion and dedication to take our key milestones and turn them into tangible, long-term growth.

• A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental health and believe that personal growth is the most valuable investment a man can make.

The Volunteer Role

Working directly with the Founder and CEO, you will lead the charge in "opening doors." You’ll develop our growth strategy, seek out corporate social responsibility (CSR) partnerships, and identify new avenues to bring our brotherhood to the men who need it most. You are the bridge between where MINDSET is today and where it will be tomorrow.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will have a seat at the table, helping to steer the direction of a charity with national ambitions. You’ll gain high-level experience in nonprofit scaling and strategic networking, but more importantly, every partnership you secure will provide a lifeline for a father, a brother, or a son.

"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us build the partnerships that make that foundation unbreakable."

If you have the business acumen to lead and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health by building the future of MINDSET.
