About LGBT Health and Wellbeing
LGBT Health and Wellbeing was established in 2003 to improve the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people across Scotland.
We are a national charity providing support services and community spaces that help people stay well, reduce isolation, and feel more connected.
We are recognised as a trusted and credible voice on LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing, particularly in areas such as mental health, trans wellbeing, and the experiences of LGBTQ+ elders.
At the heart of our work is a simple aim: a Scotland where LGBTQ+ people thrive, no matter who we are
You can read more about our work and impact in our latest Impact Report.
The Role
This role sits at the heart of how LGBT Health and Wellbeing show up for our community.
You’ll help make sure we are visible, connected, and rooted in the LGBTQ+ community. You will promote our services and events, engage actively across digital spaces, and help us be seen as an organisation that is of, for, and by the community.
Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in delivering campaigns and content that communicate our impact and support our fundraising. Working closely with your colleagues, you’ll help turn what we do into clear, compelling stories that reach the right people and make a difference.
This is a role for someone who enjoys being both creative and connected: equally comfortable creating content, building relationships online, and contributing to campaigns that grow our reach, impact and income.
About You
We’re looking for someone who is creative and connected. Someone who cares about our community, understands how to communicate with authenticity, and is motivated by making a real difference.
You don’t need to have done this exact role before, but you should bring a mix of experience, instinct, and values that align with what we’re trying to do.
Do you …
Have connections with Gorbals and Govanhill?
Believe in local democracy, youth work and community development?
Share our values of inclusion, environmental justice and social action?
Have experience, skills or energies that we can use?
Crossroads was founded in 1968, with the declaration that everyone should have the right to ‘live gloriously’. This meant two things: tackling whatever in society gets in the way of a fulfilling life, and nurturing and strengthening people’s confidence and resilience. Based at the Barn in Gorbals, we work with young people, families, and individuals, and work on issues of disability, mental health, migration, housing conditions and much more. Wherever possible we work to bring people together to share experiences, decide together and act together.
Our Board of Trustees is rooted in the community, and elected by members of the Association. These local roots have been essential to the survival of the organisation for over 50 years, against a background that has not always been friendly towards local action or challenges to authority. The survival has also depended on the essential advice and support of legal, financial and organisational talents both within the organisation and from supporters, so that we can demonstrate our integrity and responsibility.
We are looking to increase the strength and breadth of memebrship of our Board of Trustees / Directors and are keen to bring new members on Board. We would particularly welcome interest from younger people, minorities, and those with professional and life experiences we can draw on.
