Volunteer roles in Purfleet

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 momentum. Now, we need the person who will sharpen our steel.

The Volunteer Opportunity: Volunteer Trainer (Volunteer)

As one of our first-ever Volunteer Trainers, you won’t just be "delivering information"—you will be the catalyst for growth. You will be responsible for training, growing, and developing our close-knit team of amazing, inspiring, and dedicated volunteers, ensuring they have the skills and the mindset to support men on their journey to better mental health.

Who You Are

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

• An Inspiring Educator: You have the ability to take complex ideas and turn them into engaging, impactful learning experiences that resonate with our mission of brotherhood.

• A Growth Architect: You have an entrepreneurial spirit and can see the potential in everyone. You don't just see who a volunteer is today; you see who they can become.

• A Person of Connection: You possess the empathy and people skills to facilitate deep conversations and create a safe space for our volunteers to learn and lead.

• A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental wellbeing and personal development. You practice what you preach when it comes to self-improvement.

The Volunteer Role

Working alongside the Founder and the leadership team, you will design and lead our volunteer development programmes. From onboarding new members of the tribe to providing ongoing personal growth workshops, you will ensure our volunteers are the most capable, compassionate, and resilient team in the sector.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will have the creative freedom to build a training culture from scratch. You’ll gain high-level experience in coaching and organisational development, but more importantly, you will be empowering the very people who help a father, a brother, or a son find his path to a better life.

"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us train the leaders who will help men rebuild that foundation."

If you have the passion to teach and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health by growing the team that makes it happen.

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.

The Volunteer Opportunity: Operations Manager (Volunteer)

As our first-ever Operations Manager, you won’t just be "volunteering"—you will be the right hand to our Founder and CEO. You will be the bridge between our ambitious milestones and the real-world impact we make on men across the country.

Who You Are

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

• A Natural Strategist: You have the entrepreneurial spirit to see a "brand new" charity not as a blank page, but as a canvas for greatness.

• A People Person: You understand that "Operations" is actually about people. You can inspire, direct, and steer a team with empathy and clarity.

• A Person of Action: You possess the passion and dedication to turn "what if" into "what is."

• A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental wellbeing and the power of personal growth.

The Volunteer Role

Working directly with the Founder, you will steer the ship. You’ll manage the day-to-day mechanics of the charity, refine our processes, and ensure that every milestone we hit translates into a better life for a man in need.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will help shape the culture of MINDSET from the ground up. You’ll gain high-level leadership experience, but more importantly, you’ll be the reason a father, a brother, or a son finds the community he needs to thrive.

"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us build a stronger foundation for men across England."
