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.

- Architect the Systems: Set up the processes that make our work easy, slick, and frustration-free.
- The Hub: Be the first point of contact for enquiries and correspondence, keeping our reputation top-tier.

Can you help us by providing a calm, safe, and caring environment for our small furries whilst we find them their fur-ever home?
Often when we think about animal fostering, cats, and dogs spring to mind, but have you ever thought about fostering our smaller animals? The RSPCA received more than 5,000 reports last year about rabbits and other small furries relating to neglect or abandonment and rescued an average of 340 small furries a month! To help us with the rehoming of these small animals, we are actively looking to add to our fantastic team of volunteer fosterers.
As a small animal fosterer, you would play an essential role in providing the animals in our care with a temporary home whilst they are being rehomed. Like us, even small furries have specific needs and requirements, but rest assured, once we have guided you through the fostering process the animal centre will ensure that you have all the necessary guidance, equipment, food, and veterinary care.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Provide them with care, safe suitable housing, and space for playtime, as outlined in our policies and guidelines.
-
Ensure that they are groomed if appropriate and fed and watered.
-
Provide them with suitable and clean bedding to keep them cosy.
-
Give them lots of attention and plenty of cuddles as they are very sociable animals.
What We’re Looking For:
-
Volunteers aged 18 or over who have had plenty of experience of caring for animals.
-
Fostering experience is beneficial but not essential as training is provided.
-
For their wellbeing, our small furries may need to be fostered in pairs, so please bear this in mind.
-
Any existing pets or animals need to have been spayed/neutered (some medical reasons may mean they cannot be so, please let us know if this is the case).
-
You should be located in South Buckinghamshire or within a reasonable distance.
What’s in It for You?
-
You will be making a massive difference to the welfare of the small animals in your care.
-
Join a community which will enable you to meet new people and make new friends.
-
Learning new skills through our comprehensive induction and fostering training programme.
-
Enhance your CV by adding your volunteering experience and newly acquired skills.
-
The RSPCA is happy to reimburse you for any pre-agreed expenses that you may incur through volunteering for us.
Practical Considerations:
-
Health & Safety: You’ll need to complete a simple online Health & Safety course before starting the role.
Disclaimer:
Our voluntary roles are subject to:
-
An informal interview and trial period.
-
Submission of two referees’ contact details.
-
Completion of relevant training and assessments for the role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

- Visibility Strategist: Find creative ways to get us in front of donors, partners, and—most importantly—isolated Londoners who need a friend.
Who You Are:
- A Creative Powerhouse: You know how to take a mission and turn it into "unmissable" content.
- High Energy: You naturally create excitement and have a "can-do" attitude that inspires others.
- Strategic & Proactive: You don’t just post for the sake of it; you have a plan to raise our profile and grow our reach.
- Passion for London: You understand the "London vibe" and know exactly where our audience hangs out (online and off).
The Logistics:
- Location: Remote (with the occasional "content-gathering" trip to our London events).
- Commitment: 4–6 hours per week (flexible).
- Reporting: Working directly with the Founder/CEO to shape the public face of the charity.
What’s In It For You?
- Creative Autonomy: You get to build a brand from the ground up—no red tape, just pure creativity.
- A Portfolio Piece: The chance to show how you built the "buzz" for a city-wide social movement.
- The Feel-Good Factor: Knowing your words and designs are the reason someone finally feels less alone.
