We're recruiting on behalf of our partners at MINDSET.

MINDSET is an ambitious start-up charity developing practical mental fitness, wellbeing and personal growth opportunities for men and teenage boys.

We're looking for an exceptional HR, People & Culture Lead (VOLUNTEER) to help build our internal culture, values and ethos while leading the recruitment, onboarding, induction, training and development of our volunteer-powered TEAM MINDSET.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone with experience in HR, people management, volunteer recruitment, organisational culture or learning and development.

We're not just building a volunteer programme. We're building a culture and a community people are proud to belong to.

UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL.

MINDSET isn't here to do things the same old way.

We're building a bold, ambitious and purpose-driven charity with a mission to support men and teenage boys through practical mental fitness, wellbeing and personal growth opportunities.

We're building something from the ground up.

1. A charity with ambition.
2. A community with purpose.
3. A movement that puts men and teenage boys at the centre of everything we do.

But great organisations aren't built on ideas, logos or strategies alone.

They're built by people.

And the culture those people create together.

We're looking for an exceptional HR, People & Culture Lead (VOLUNTEER) to help us build, develop and bring to life the internal culture, values and ethos of MINDSET — while leading the recruitment, onboarding, development and training of our volunteer-powered team.

Could you be the person who helps bring TEAM MINDSET together?

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for someone who understands people, believes in the power of positive culture and knows what it takes to build a motivated, connected and high-performing team.

1. As our People & Culture Lead, you'll play a central role in shaping what it means to be part of MINDSET.
2. You'll help develop and implement our people strategy, bring our values to life, establish our volunteering programme and create an environment where people feel welcomed, supported, valued, motivated and inspired to contribute.
3. You'll lead on the development of our volunteer journey — from attracting the right people and managing recruitment, through to onboarding, induction, training, development, engagement and ongoing support.

But this role goes beyond recruitment and administration.

It's about building a team culture. A shared identity. A way of working. A sense of belonging.

We want people who don't just volunteer for MINDSET, but who genuinely feel part of TEAM MINDSET.

People who understand our mission, embrace our values, take pride in what we're building and want to contribute to something bigger than themselves.

Your role will be to help make that happen.

1. BUILDING THE MINDSET CULTURE

More than a team. A shared mindset.

We want MINDSET to be different.

We want to create an internal culture that is positive, energetic, supportive, ambitious, accountable and driven by purpose.

A culture where people feel they belong, understand why their contribution matters and are encouraged to develop their own skills and potential.

You'll help us turn our values and ethos into something people experience every day — not simply words on a website or in a handbook.

You'll help MINDSET:

• Develop and implement our internal People & Culture strategy.

• Establish and promote the MINDSET ethos and values.

• Develop our internal culture and shared ways of working.

• Create a positive, inclusive and supportive volunteer environment.

• Establish clear expectations, behaviours and standards.

• Develop our volunteer culture, identity and sense of belonging.

• Encourage teamwork, collaboration and shared responsibility.

• Promote recognition, appreciation and celebration of achievements.

• Develop opportunities for volunteers to learn, grow and progress.

• Encourage communication, feedback and continuous improvement.

• Build a culture of ownership, accountability and mutual respect.

We want a team that is passionate about the mission, proud to be associated with MINDSET and motivated to give their best.

We want people to live and breathe the MINDSET way.

2. RECRUITMENT & BUILDING TEAM MINDSET

Find the people. Build the team. Bring the vision to life.

MINDSET is a volunteer-powered charity, and our people will be central to everything we do.

You'll lead the development and implementation of our volunteer recruitment strategy, helping us attract the right people, with the right skills, experience, attitudes and commitment.

This may include:

• Identifying current and future volunteer recruitment needs.

• Working with team leads to develop volunteer role descriptions.

• Developing recruitment campaigns and attraction strategies.

• Advertising opportunities across relevant volunteering platforms and networks.

• Managing applications and expressions of interest.

• Coordinating interviews, conversations and selection processes.

• Supporting role matching and volunteer placement.

• Developing consistent recruitment standards and processes.

• Ensuring appropriate references, eligibility checks and safeguarding arrangements are completed.

• Building relationships with volunteer networks, recruitment partners and professional communities.

• Helping us recruit people who believe in our mission and want to contribute meaningfully.

We're not simply looking to fill vacancies.

We're looking to build a strong, capable, passionate and supportive team that can help take MINDSET from start-up phase to launch and beyond.

Quality, commitment and cultural fit matter.

3. VOLUNTEER ONBOARDING & INDUCTION

First impressions matter. Every volunteer journey matters.

We want every person joining MINDSET to feel welcomed, valued and excited about becoming part of the team.

You'll lead the development of a structured and engaging volunteer onboarding and induction experience.

This may include:

• Developing our volunteer onboarding framework.

• Creating welcome packs and induction materials.

• Introducing new volunteers to MINDSET's mission, vision and values.

• Ensuring volunteers understand relevant policies and procedures.

• Coordinating safeguarding, health and safety and data protection induction.

• Establishing volunteer agreements and role expectations.

• Creating opportunities for new volunteers to meet the wider team.

• Ensuring volunteers know who to contact for support and guidance.

We want people to join MINDSET and immediately understand that they've become part of something with purpose, direction and ambition.

4. LEARNING, DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING

Invest in your people. Help them reach their potential.

We believe our volunteers deserve opportunities to develop their skills, confidence and experience.

You'll lead on building a volunteer learning and development programme that helps our people feel equipped, supported and prepared for their roles.

This may include:

• Identifying volunteer training and development needs.

• Developing a structured volunteer training programme.

• Coordinating mandatory and role-specific training.

• Organising internal workshops, briefings and learning sessions.

• Supporting team leads with volunteer development.

• Identifying external training opportunities and learning resources.

• Developing pathways for volunteer progression and increased responsibility.

• Encouraging peer learning, mentoring and knowledge sharing.

• Gathering feedback and evaluating training effectiveness.

• Supporting volunteers to identify and achieve their development goals.

We want volunteering at MINDSET to be a rewarding experience — one where people can make a difference while developing themselves along the way.

5. VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT, WELLBEING & RECOGNITION

People should feel valued, connected and appreciated.

A strong volunteer team doesn't happen by accident.

It takes communication, encouragement, support and a genuine commitment to looking after the people who give their time and expertise.

You'll help develop our approach to volunteer engagement and retention, creating opportunities for people to connect, contribute and feel appreciated.

This may include:

• Developing volunteer engagement and communication initiatives.

• Organising volunteer meetings and team-building activities.

• Creating opportunities for volunteers to connect and share experiences.

We want TEAM MINDSET to be a place where people feel proud to contribute, supported to develop and inspired to stay involved.
