The Social Media Lead plays a strategic and safeguarding-critical role in advancing Emerge Worldwide’s mission to prevent grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

This role is not simply about posting content. It is about shaping narrative, increasing prevention, strengthening partnerships and ensuring that women and girls encounter accurate, trauma-informed information in digital spaces.

Through a clear digital strategy and consistent messaging, the Social Media Lead strengthens Emerge Worldwide’s credibility and national voice. A strong online presence builds trust with survivors, professionals, schools, corporates and policymakers — opening doors for training, partnerships and funding that directly support prevention and empowerment initiatives.

Consistent, high-quality posting has preventative impact. Educational content about red flags, online grooming, coercive control and intersectional vulnerabilities can help young people recognise harmful behaviour earlier. Parents, carers and teachers may identify warning signs sooner. Increased awareness can interrupt exploitation before it escalates.

Collaboration with the Communications Department ensures language is trauma-informed and safeguarding-aware. Sensitive issues are handled ethically, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation and creating a digital environment where survivors feel seen, respected and safe.

Cross-department collaboration ensures campaigns, policy work, education programmes and fundraising initiatives are amplified effectively. This leads to increased attendance at training, stronger campaign mobilisation, greater public engagement and enhanced funding — all of which contribute to tangible protection and support for vulnerable girls and young women.

By analysing performance data, the Social Media Lead helps Emerge Worldwide reach high-risk demographics more effectively. Data-informed decisions improve targeting, engagement and resource allocation, ensuring messaging reaches those most vulnerable.

In summary, the outcomes of this role contribute directly to early identification, public education, cultural awareness and increased access to prevention services. The Social Media Lead helps transform awareness into action — strengthening Emerge Worldwide’s impact in advocating for women and girls against grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

About Us

Health in the Margins C.I.C. is a newly established UK Community Interest Company. We centre the voices, values and healing traditions of frontline communities- those most affected by health inequalities.

We do this through:

• community-led research & education
• co-designed health programmes and evaluation
• policy and advocacy work

Founded in September 2025, we are in our first year. We are currently building partnerships and securing funding, with plans to increase programme delivery in 2026.

Our Mission: Striving towards epistemic justice, our mission is to centre the voices, values and healing traditions of frontline communities towards the goal of advancing health equity.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a new non-executive director to join our board and help guide the organisation as we grow.

As a small, founder-led organisation, we need someone who can offer strategic thinking, support strong and ethical governance, and help us build a sustainable foundation while staying true to our values and accountable to community.

This is an opportunity to shape an organisation from an early stage and contribute to work focused on health justice. We are looking for someone who is not only skilled, but also personally committed to this work and willing to engage thoughtfully with the communities we come from and work with.

Who we are looking for

We are interested in someone who is passionate about tackling health inequity and motivated to contribute to grassroots, community-led work. We are recruiting 1 or 2 new directors. As we are newly established, experience in one or more of the following would be helpful:

• Strategic thinking aligned with our mission
• Governance (for example as a trustee or director of a charity or CIC) to help us with activities such as updating our bye-laws
• Fundraising (especially with trusts and foundations)
• Developing sustainable income or partnerships
• Finance, risk or organisational sustainability
• Supporting early-stage or growing organisations

We are committed to ensuring our board reflects the communities most affected by health inequalities. We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience of these issues, including (but not limited to) those from Global Majority communities, disabled people, people with long-term health conditions, migrants, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

We value knowledge gained through community work, lived experience, and informal leadership.

We recognise that this experience often brings valuable insight into systems, access, and equity that is not always captured through formal professional routes.

We are also keen to hear from people who may not have extensive formal board experience, but who have:

• Held responsibility in community, voluntary or informal leadership roles
• Worked closely with marginalised communities
• Contributed to decision-making in grassroots or movement spaces

What matters most to us is not a specific career path, but the ability to engage seriously with governance, bring thoughtful perspective, and contribute to an organisation that is still being shaped.

What You Will Do

You will be part of a small grassroots team that is committed to closing the health gaps in our communities. In this role, you will:

• Provide strategic guidance and oversight
• Help ensure strong governance and accountability
• Support our fundraising approach and sustainability
• Contribute to risk management and sustainability planning
• Act as an ambassador for the organisation
• Attend quarterly board meetings (online)

Time commitment: Approximately 4–6 hours per month.

This is a voluntary (unpaid) role.

What You Will Gain

• The chance to shape a new organisation from the ground up
• The chance to contribute to transformative work in global health equity
• The opportunity to support meaningful, community-led work on health

Person Specification

We are looking for someone who:

• Understands governance responsibilities
• Can offer constructive challenge and independent thinking
• Shares our commitment to equity and community leadership
• Works collaboratively and respectfully
• Can commit reliably to board activities

We are particularly keen to strengthen the independence of our board and welcome applicants who are not connected personally or professionally to the current directors.

How to Apply

Please send:

• A short statement (maximum 1 page or up to 5 minutes audio/video) outlining:
  • Your governance experience
  • Why you’re interested in Health in the Margins
  • What you would bring to the role
• A CV or a short summary of your relevant experience (this can include unpaid or community-based work)

Deadline: Monday 18 May 2026 (end of day)

We will invite shortlisted candidates to an informal online conversation.

If you would like to discuss the role before applying or need a different format to apply, please contact us.

We will review applications on a rolling basis and may close early if we find a suitable candidate.

Head of Marketing & Communications (MINDSET Charity) - VOLUNTEER ROLE

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.

What You’ll Lead

As our Head of Marketing & Communications, you will:

• Shape and lead MINDSET’s national marketing and communications strategy

• Build a strong, consistent brand identity across all platforms

• Manage and grow our social media presence with purpose and clarity

• Create compelling content that inspires men, volunteers, and supporters

• 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.
