Our challenge
Brain tumours do not discriminate and they do not respect boundaries. They can strike anyone, at any age. And they strike quickly.
The Support Team at The Brain Tumour Charity are aiming to address the clear gap in emotional support available to those affected by a brain tumour diagnosis, by expanding their counselling service. We know the difference that talking therapy can make and our goal is to reach more people, ensuring everyone that wants it, gets the support that they need.
How can you help?
As a Counselling Assessment Volunteer for this service, you will be the first point of call for new clients entering in to the service. This role will require you to talk to a wide range of people - from those newly diagnosed, to others at end of life and also bereaved. As a Counselling Assessment Volunteer, you will be required to:
- Carry out pre-booked counselling assessments with clients who have self-referred themselves into the counselling service
- Gather information through the assessment about the client’s circumstances, explore their needs, explain how the service can help and discuss with them whether the counselling service is suitable
- Confidently follow our safeguarding process, to ensure risk is assessed and appropriate steps are taken to safeguard each client’s well-being
- Observe confidentiality in line with our organisational policy
- Keep accurate and appropriate records on our internal database
We’re looking for...
Someone who is empathetic and supportive in nature, and who is excited by the opportunity to bring this counselling service to the wider brain tumour community. You will also need:
- Experience in providing emotional support to others, perhaps through another role focusing on bereavement, mental health or life limiting illnesses
- Ideally have had previous training in counselling, mental health first aid, or other relevant course
- Ability to work autonomously
- Relevant IT skills in order to maintain appropriate and accurate records on our counselling database
- As this is a home-based role, you will need access to a telephone and computer that you are happy to use for this service
The Brain Tumour Charity is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our organisation. We particularly welcome applications from individuals belonging to minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented communities.
What can you gain from volunteering?
- You’ll have the opportunity to apply your existing support skills in a new way
- You will join a pioneering team, who are passionate about expanding the counselling service
- You will be supported in your role and will have a check in and check out with a team member before and after each shift
Time commitment
We are looking for a commitment of 2 hours per week (minimum) which would allow you to carry out 2 assessments. All assessments must be carried out between 9:30am-4pm, Monday - Friday, and we would ask all volunteers to work on a rota system, volunteering at the same times each week.
Practical considerations
You will receive a full induction to The Brain Tumour Charity and any specific training for the role, as well as ongoing direction from one of the team, who will be your key contact. We carry out references for all individuals who will be volunteering with us on a regular basis. Volunteers will be required to complete some internal training, data protection and disclosure documentation before commencing the role. Volunteers must be over 18. We may close applications early if we recieve a high number of applications for this role. If we receive a high volume of applications, we may close the role early, so we’d encourage you to apply at your earliest opportunity.
Need support with the application process?
We are committed to being inclusive and recognise that there may be a number of ways we could support you through the application process. If there’s any adjustments we can make to help you fully engage in the process, don’t hesitate to let us know by getting in touch with the Volunteering Team.

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 a dedicated Board of Trustees. We have the momentum. Now, we need the architect of our community.
The Volunteer Opportunity: Volunteer Coordinator (Volunteer)
As our first-ever Volunteer Coordinator, you won’t just be "managing people"—you will be the guardian of our culture. You will be the first point of contact for the passionate individuals joining our mission, ensuring that every person who steps up to help MINDSET feels valued, supported, and empowered to make a difference.
Who You Are
We aren't looking for a CV; we’re looking for a character. We need a connector who is:
-
A Natural People Person: You have the warmth and emotional intelligence to welcome new volunteers and the intuition to see where their talents fit best.
-
An Inspiring Leader: You understand that a charity is only as strong as its people. You can motivate a diverse team and keep the spirit of brotherhood alive.
-
A Person of Action: You possess the organizational spark to turn interest into impact, streamlining how we recruit, onboard, and support our team.
-
A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental wellbeing and understand the life-changing power of a supportive community.
The Volunteer Role
Working closely with the Founder and the Board, you will be the "Face of MINDSET" for our growing team. You’ll design the volunteer journey, coordinate our expanding network of supporters, and ensure that as we grow across England, our core values of brotherhood and growth remain at the center of everything we do.
Why Join Us?
This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will help shape the very DNA of MINDSET. You’ll gain incredible experience in community building and leadership, but more importantly, you’ll be the person who brings together the tribe that helps a father, a brother, or a son find his way back to health.
"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us build the community that supports that foundation."
If you have the people skills to inspire and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health.
