Volunteer Role: Managing Director (Senior Leadership Team)

Location: Remote (London connections highly beneficial)

Commitment: Minimum 4 hours per week

Lead the Movement. Shape the Future. Build MINDSET Charity.

Poor mental health can affect anyone — but men and boys are often less likely to talk about how they feel. Many struggle alone, not because they want to, but because they’ve never had a space where opening up feels safe, comfortable or understood.

MINDSET Charity is being built to change that.

We’re a London‑based start‑up charity in our concept and set‑up stage, creating a movement that empowers men and boys to develop stronger mindsets, healthier habits and positive futures through action‑based wellbeing. No therapy. Just growth, reflection and real‑world tools that help men become the best version of themselves.

To turn this vision into reality, we’re recruiting a Managing Director (Volunteer) to join our Senior Leadership Team — someone who can help us build MINDSET Charity from the ground up and guide us towards a successful launch.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a charity before it even opens its doors.

What You’ll Lead

As Managing Director, you’ll play a central role in:

• Developing our early strategy, structure and operational foundations

• Guiding MINDSET through its concept and set‑up stages

• Preparing us for Trustee recruitment and formal governance

• Supporting programme development and wellbeing initiatives

• Building partnerships, networks and community connections

• Helping define our culture, values and long‑term direction

• Ensuring MINDSET is ready to launch with clarity, strength and purpose

If you have connections in London, that’s a huge advantage — but passion, leadership and belief in our mission matter most.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who:

• Has leadership experience or natural leadership ability

• Believes deeply in men’s mental health and positive male role models

• Thrives in start‑up environments and enjoys building from scratch

• Can think strategically and act practically

• Communicates clearly, confidently and compassionately

• Can give at least 4 hours per week (more if possible)

• Wants to help create a charity that will genuinely change lives

You don’t need charity sector experience — just commitment, initiative and a desire to make a meaningful impact.

Why Join Us?

1. Because this is more than a role — it’s a chance to help build a charity that will support men and boys for years to come.
2. Because your leadership will shape our future, our programmes and our impact.
3. Because you’ll be part of a movement that empowers men to grow, reflect and thrive.

• This is purpose.
• This is leadership.
• This is the beginning of something powerful — and we’d love you to help lead it.

Apply now and help us build MINDSET Charity — one mindset, one action, one future at a time.

Are you a dog lover with room in your home to look after a dog during evenings and weekends? This could be the perfect role for you!

As a Training Dog Fosterer, you’ll provide a loving temporary home to a dog in training, typically for a period of 12 to 20 weeks, as they begin their journey to become a guide dog. You’ll get to see the progress your furry companion is making in their training and be a vital part of their journey, without the commitment of looking after a dog full time.

What you’ll be doing:

In this rewarding role, your support for a guide dog in training will include:

• Doing the school run for your dog in training! This will typically involve dropping them off and picking them up at an agreed time Monday to Friday at one of our regional centres or community teams, however, some sites may vary. There are some locations where we will be able to collect and return the training dog from your home. 
• Caring for your dog in your home such as feeding, grooming, free running and playing, following the advice of our expert staff.
• Helping your dog keep up with their training by reinforcing the techniques at home from our first-class training programme.
• Making sure your dog is not left alone for more than four hours in a 24-hour period. If you’re planning on going on holiday, let us know at your initial phone call so we can plan alternative cover for your future life changer.

Can I foster a dog?

If you’re hoping to foster a guide dog in training, here’s what we ideally look for:

• Being close to one of our regional centres or community teams so that your dog can get to their training. 
• The agreement of your landlord to have a dog in your home if you rent your home.
• A safe and secure area outside for the dog to go to the toilet.

However, we try to be flexible – for example, you’ll still be able to foster a dog if you live in London, even if you don’t have access to outside space. 

What you’ll get:

• The opportunity to have a lovable canine companion!
• The satisfaction in knowing you’re supporting people with sight loss to live actively, independently, and well.
• The rewarding feeling of seeing your dog learn new training techniques to help them develop into a guide dog.
• An insight into our bespoke world-class training programme so that your dog’s training stays consistent at home, which can also help you train your own dogs or advance in a future career in dog handling.
• The opportunity to be part of the Guide Dogs community, meeting like-minded people in your area.
• A dedicated volunteer manager and fellow peers who will help support you throughout your role.

Training and support

You’ll attend a training workshop to understand the basics of our bespoke training techniques so you can confidently support your dog’s training at home. You’ll also receive ongoing guidance from your volunteer manager. If you have questions about the training requirements, we can answer these at your initial phone call along with any other support or accessibility needs you may have.

Volunteering for Guide Dogs should never leave you out of pocket. We’ll make sure we pay any pre-agreed expenses related to volunteering with us, including veterinary costs, dog food costs and other materials needed for your dog’s training.

Minimum age for volunteer is 18.

We also have a respite fosterer role available in some areas, where a dog would stay with you full time before moving on to the next stage of its journey.

A supportive handover will be provided to ensure a smooth and confident transition into the role.

Person Specification

• Warmth, clarity and good judgement, with a balanced, proportionate approach to governance.

• A genuine commitment to improving the lives of adopted, fostered and kinship care children and an understanding of the challenges faced by families affected by early trauma.

• Confidence in chairing discussions, helping the Board reach clear, well‑considered decisions.

• An understanding of good governance, including risk, safeguarding and compliance (or a willingness to learn).

• The ability to work collaboratively with trustees and our small operational support team, offering encouragement and constructive challenge while supporting the charity’s governance and fundraising role, which enables the specialist delivery work carried out by our partner.

• Strategic thinking, with the ability to help shape the charity’s direction and ensure long‑term sustainability.

• Reliability, integrity and a calm, steady approach, keeping the charity’s purpose at the centre of decision‑making.

• Meets the eligibility requirements to serve as a charity trustee, as set out by the Charity Commission.

Helpful but not essential:

• Experience of chairing a board or committee

• Experience in charity governance, education, social care, therapeutic work, or community leadership would be helpful, but we are open to a wide range of backgrounds.

• Lived or professional experience related to adoption, fostering, trauma or family support.

What We Offer

• A warm, committed Board, small operational support team and group of volunteers who work collaboratively and value clear communication.

• A meaningful opportunity to shape the future of a small but growing charity with a strong reputation for high‑quality, trauma‑informed support.

• Flexible time commitments that fit around work and family life.

• A chance to make a tangible difference to adopted, fostered and kinship-care children and young people, and the families who care for them.

How to apply

Please apply through the CharityJob platform with your CV and a short supporting statement outlining your interest in the role and your relevant experience. 

If you would like an informal conversation before applying please contact the charity directly using the details provided on our website. We would be happy to arrange a conversation with the current Chair or another member of the Board if you would like to learn more about the role.
