Job description

Are you passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community? Do have a background in supporting voluntary organizations to thrive? You could be our next Outreach and Development Officer.

Since the creation of a gay helpline in 1976, the Leicester LGBT Centre has been supporting the LGBTQ+ communities of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland for over 46 years. Our mission is simple: to create a fair and equal society where all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people can achieve their full potential. To do this we offer training, counselling and a range of services and activity including an LGBT+ choir, adult support groups, youth groups and general social groups for our members.

This role is centred around fostering a sense of community, support, and wellbeing within the LGBTQ+ community, with a focus on group development and coordination of wellbeing opportunities through our key partnerships, including the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme, operated by Vita Health Group. The Outreach and Development Worker will play a crucial role in connecting with LGBTQ+ individuals, empowering them, and enhancing their overall wellbeing. This role will support the ongoing sustainability of our LGBTQ+ Groups and Services through supporting fundraising initiatives.

We are a small but dedicated friendly team at the Centre and we are looking for someone who has a passion for our cause. If you think you could be our next Outreach and Development Officer please email a copy of your CV to wayned@leicesterlgbtcentre.org to receive an application pack.
