Minds Ahead Request

Organisation Description

Minds Ahead is a social enterprise reshaping mental health in education.
We’re working towards a future in which all schools are inclusive communities where pupils and staff thrive because mental health is well supported, now and for generations to come.
We pursue our vision by designing and delivering mental health qualifications, training, and strategic consultancy. These empower school leaders and staff with the knowledge and tools to create environments where everyone belongs, feels understood and knows how to strengthen their mental health.
We offer a range of much-needed new qualifications:

The only Masters for Leadership of School Mental Health.
A Masters for teachers or pastoral staff who want to become School Mental Health Specialists.
A Foundation Programme in School Mental Health.
A Peer Mentoring Programme for pupils.

Our approach is about schools embracing a vital public health role to support pupils to thrive and to prevent issues from arising.

What are they looking for?

Owing to the continued growth and development of the award-winning social enterprise, Minds Ahead CIC, we are expanding our board of Directors. We are looking for two new volunteer Directors (non-executive) to join the existing board: HR & Business Development. As a Director, your commitment to Minds Ahead will include participating in Board meetings (four a year). However, it is envisaged that between the meetings, the Directors will provide additional advice and guidance as needed on specific issues that arise. We are recruiting two volunteer non-executive board members: Business Development – we are seeking an experienced Business Development professional who is driven to secure growth for a small social enterprise, willing to serve as a voluntary non-executive BD Director. HR Development – we are seeking an experienced HR professional, with a passion for securing a high-performing team, as well as competence in HR processes, who will serve as a volunteer non-executive Director.
