HEAD OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS – VOLUNTEER

Lead the national conversation on men’s wellbeing — and put MINDSET on the map

Most men don’t want to sit in a circle and “talk about their feelings.” They want challenge. They want action. They want brotherhood. They want to grow — without feeling like they’re in therapy.

MINDSET is the brand‑new men’s wellbeing charity built around exactly that. We’re creating a tribe where men step up, show up, and level up — through real‑world connection, shared experiences, and practical, stigma‑free support that actually works.

And now we’re looking for a Head of External Affairs who can take this movement into the public arena — shaping how the world sees men, masculinity, and mental health.

This role is for the leader who…

• Thrives on influence, strategy, and high‑level relationship‑building.

• Can confidently represent a new charity on the national stage.

• Understands how to build credibility, visibility, and trust.

• Can turn a bold mission into compelling narratives people want to support.

• Is politically aware, media‑savvy, and unafraid to challenge outdated thinking.

• Knows how to build partnerships that unlock opportunity and scale.

• Believes men deserve better — and is ready to help change the system.

If you’re the kind of person who sees a blank page and thinks “this is my moment,” you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Building

Our mission isn’t just to support men — it’s to shift culture.

As Head of External Affairs, you’ll shape how MINDSET shows up in the world and how the world responds. You’ll lead the charge on:

• Public affairs and advocacy that push men’s wellbeing up the national agenda.

• Media and communications that cut through clichés and stigma.

• Strategic partnerships with organisations, influencers, and institutions.

• Brand reputation and public narrative, ensuring MINDSET is seen, heard, and respected.

• Campaigns and messaging that speak the language men actually respond to.

• Stakeholder engagement across government, business, and the charity sector.

This isn’t just PR — it’s cultural transformation.

Why This Matters

Men are struggling in silence. Traditional services aren’t reaching them. And the public conversation is stuck in stereotypes.

We’re rewriting the script — and your work will determine how far that message travels.

When men move, talk, laugh, challenge themselves, and support each other, transformation happens naturally. We’re building a space where that transformation becomes normal — and your leadership will help the world understand why it matters.

What You’ll Gain

• A defining leadership role in a charity at its very beginning.

• The chance to shape national‑level influence from day one.

• A brotherhood of passionate volunteers who believe in the mission.

• Real responsibility, real visibility, and real legacy.

• The satisfaction of knowing your work is changing — and saving — lives.

If you’re ready to shape the public face of a movement…

• If you want to lead conversations, not just manage communications…
• If you want to help men thrive, not just cope…
• If you want to be part of a charity that finally speaks the language men respond to…

We want to hear from you.

Apply now and help us build the future of men’s wellbeing.

GMYN is seeking to recruit new trustees with the passion and drive to move the charity forward with our recently updated strategy.

Since 2007, we have supported over 15,000 young people across Greater Manchester who face significant challenges, including those with experience of the care system, young refugees, and those with social or mental health needs. We don’t just deliver programmes; we provide a "family" and a platform for young people to have their voices heard.

Following our 2025 Trustee Skills Audit, we are entering an exciting period of new opportunities and are looking for three new trustees to join our passionate board. We are looking for individuals who share our values of compassion, creativity, courage, learning and fun.

We are specifically seeking expertise/experience in the following high-priority areas:

• Finance & Audit Trustee: To provide scrutiny of financial information, budgeting, and support our long-term financial resilience.
• Fundraising & Income Generation Trustee: To help shape our fundraising strategy, focusing on corporate partnerships, grants, and traded income.
• Digital & Communications Trustee: To lead our digital strategy, helping us amplify our brand and marketing efforts.
• Young Trustees - Please see section below on “lived experience”.

However, you do not need to be an expert in these areas to apply. We welcome applications from anyone who shares our values. We believe that a diverse board with a wide range of perspectives is what makes us strong.

The Value of Lived Experience

GMYN aims to create an inclusive welcoming environment for young people and all those who work or volunteer at GMYN or wish to join #TeamGMYN.

Whilst our staff and board of trustees are diverse in many ways, we recognise we are not fully representative of the communities that we serve, and we want to change this. We especially encourage applications from the Global Majority, people from working-class backgrounds, and disabled or neurodiverse individuals.

At GMYN, we believe young people shouldn't just be part of our programmes—they should help lead them. We are looking for new Trustees help shape our future. We strongly encourage applications from:

• Young leaders (18+) who want to make a difference in Greater Manchester.
• Experts by experience: the unique insights you have from navigating the care system, living with a disability, or being a young person in Greater Manchester today. Your first-hand knowledge helps us make better, fairer decisions.
• People who currently use, or have previously been involved in, GMYN programmes including beneficaries, volunteers or GMYN alumni.

Your personal insight and "youth voice" are just as valuable to us as professional qualifications and experience. We want our board to reflect the diverse communities and the resilient young people we serve.

Why join #TeamGMYN?

Our current trustees choose to be part of GMYN because they want to:

• Make a meaningful difference for young people facing disadvantage.
• Gain a deeper sense of purpose by contributing to a cause rooted in compassion.
• Connect with diverse people and new perspectives within the community.
• Share their own knowledge to help more young people thrive.

The commitment

We expect trustees to try and attend all meetings. We have around 5 to 6 evening trustee meetings each year (on-line and face-to-face) plus attendance at the annual strategic planning day.

In addition to this trustees are encouraged to visit our projects and participate in focused working groups as and when needed.

Person Specification

Experience of youth work is not required to be a GMYN Trustee. Neither is previous experience as a trustee.

The main qualities that we are looking for are:

• A demonstrable passion for supporting young people so that they can build a positive future for themselves.
• Commitment to regularly attend and fully engage in board meetings and be pro-active in-between meetings.
• The ability to think at a strategic level and leave the day-to-day operation of the charity to the Senior Leadership Team.
• The ability to work collaboratively with other Trustees and senior level staff.
• Curiosity and the ability to ask challenging questions when required.
• Skills and experiences that are relevant to the high-priority areas as shown above.

Guidance for applicants 

If having read this information you would like to apply, we would suggest you set up a short informal chat with our Chair, Liam McDaid Jones. He can provide you with a bit more background to GMYN; where we’ve come from, and where we are heading. He can also answer any other questions you may have about the trustee role.

Time expectation

The cat adoption team leader role is vital within our busy volunteer teams. Our current volunteers spend around 10 to 12 hours per week in this flexible role, which can be shared by more than one volunteer if required.

You may be just the volunteer we’ve been looking for!
