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

The Role

This role will lead the re-design, development, and delivery of our national phone support services. The postholder will oversee day-to-day delivery while also helping shape the next phase of the service’s development, with a strong focus on building and strengthening a sustainable volunteer-led model.

LGBT+ Helpline Scotland and our telefriending service provide vital emotional support, information, connection and reassurance to LGBTQ+ people across Scotland. For many people, these services are a lifeline, offering a safe space to talk openly, reduce isolation, and access support that understands LGBTQ+ lives and experiences.

The role combines operational coordination, volunteer development and service transformation. Alongside supporting the delivery of high-quality emotional support, the coordinator will help strengthen systems, processes, training, volunteer structures and community pathways to ensure the service remains responsive, safe and sustainable for the future.

About You

This is an opportunity for someone who is compassionate, organised and values-driven to help shape an essential national LGBTQ+ service at an important moment in its history.
