Ready to tell the story that changes the narrative?
At MINDSET, we’re not just another charity; we’re a brand-new movement for men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth across England and Wales. We’re tired of the clinical, "waiting room" energy. We need a Communications Lead to help us cut through the noise with bold, impactful content that finally speaks a language men actually respond to.
We’re looking for a creative storyteller who can capture the grit, the growth, and the real-world impact of what we do, turning our mission into a profile that gets recognised nationwide.
The Mission:
- The Narrative: Create powerful content that tells the authentic stories of the men we support—focusing on strength, resilience, and action rather than just hardship.
- The Megaphone: Lead our social media and digital presence (think Instagram for visuals, LinkedIn for partnerships, and TikTok for authentic, raw updates) to raise our profile.
- The Identity: Ensure MINDSET is seen as the go-to space for non-clinical growth, building a brand that feels like a community, not a service.
The Vibe:
We’re action-first and zero-fluff. You’ll have total creative freedom to ditch the "sad face" charity clichés and build a high-impact communication strategy from the ground up.
Sound like you?
If you’re a content pro who knows how to move an audience and wants to use those skills to spark a national conversation about men’s growth, let’s talk.

Are you passionate about supporting young people and giving back to your community?
Whether you have experience in fundraising, governance, corporate partnerships, or simply a willingness to help, we’d love to hear from you!
About us
We’re part of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, a national youth organisation empowering 12- to 20-year-olds through flying, adventure training, sports, and leadership development.
West Mercian Wing supports over 900 cadets across 27 squadrons in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, the Black Country, and Cyprus. Each squadron is supported by a committee of trustees who oversee governance, fundraising, and community engagement, helping ensure incredible opportunities for young people.
What’s involved
Being a trustee is a simple but highly impactful way to support your local squadron:
- Attend quarterly meetings (around two hours each)
- Discuss finances, fundraising, priorities, and squadron activities
- Take part in decisions, especially financial and strategic matters
- Support events, networking, or community initiatives
Typical commitment: 8-12 hours per year.
Who we’re looking for
Trustees come from all walks of life. No military, youth work, or charity experience is required. Trustees actively participate in meetings and decisions – there’s no obligation to take on an elected role.
Eligibility:
- Must be 20 years or older.
- Must have lived in the UK for 3 or more years.
Useful skills (optional but welcomed):
- Finance, budgeting, or business management
- Fundraising or grant writing
- Event planning or project management
- Governance, committee, or leadership experience
- Local networks or community connections
We particularly welcome:
- Applicants from under-represented communities.
- Younger adults. Only 1% of trustees in the UK are under 30 (Charity Commission and Pro Bono Economics 2025), and we particularly encourage applications from people wanting to grow their skills while making a real impact.
- People who are motivated to learn and contribute, not just bring experience.
What you’ll gain
- Experience in leadership, governance, and fundraising.
- Expanded professional and personal networks.
- Access to training and support.
- A chance to make a real difference in your community.
There are also opportunities to grow if you want to take on more responsibility:
- Take on leadership roles within your committee
- Support other squadrons
- Get involved in regional or even nationally
- Transition into civilian or uniformed volunteer roles working directly with cadets
Support you’ll receive
You will be fully supported, with guidance and resources at every level, so you can contribute confidently:
- Locally, you’ll work with your squadron Chair, Treasurer and Commander.
- At Wing level, the Wing Chair, Treasurer and Secretary provide guidance, templates and advice.
- Nationally, RAF Air Cadets trustees are part of a broader governance community with access to resources and information.
How to join
- Submit an expression of interest via this CharityJob listing.
- Attend an informal virtual meeting with the Wing Chair and Wing Treasurer.
- Visit a local squadron and meet the team.
- Apply to become a trustee if invited.
- Complete required DBS and background checks.
