LGBT Health and Wellbeing is a national charity founded in 2003 with a simple but powerful vision: a Scotland where LGBTQ+ people can thrive and where who we are doesn’t stand in the way of our health, happiness, or full participation in society.

Our mission, rooted in compassion, solidarity, and lived experience, is to provide specialist, life affirming support that meets LGBTQ+ people where they are, and to advocate for a Scotland where everyone can live well and be well, no matter who they are.

The Role

The Fundraising Partnerships Coordinator is a key member of our Partnerships and Communications team, and part of an amazing wider team driven by a shared mission to grow our organisation, increase our reach, and provide safe and affirming spaces and services to Scotland’s LGBTQ+ community.

This is a role that drives unrestricted income by providing support to our fundraisers including individuals, corporate partners and local businesses. You will lead on an exciting calendar of fundraising events and help develop and deliver our future fundraising activity.

You will be involved in helping craft fundraising communications to both new and existing supporters, shape our future fundraising appeals and keep accurate records by owning our fundraising income reporting.

About You

This is an excellent role for someone who enjoys finding and developing new fundraising partnerships with individuals and groups and thrives on chasing and exceeding income targets. We are hoping to find someone with at least 2 years fundraising experience within a charitable organisation or similar, or someone who has been in a role which has helped them develop a similar range of skills and experience.

If you are someone passionate about fundraising, with fantastic planning and organisational skills who thrives in a fast-paced environment, this is the role for you.

The Equality Network works for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, ace and intersex (LGBTQIA+) equality and human rights in Scotland. We strive to be inclusive and open in our work, to challenge discrimination and to consult, involve and inform the individuals and the communities for which we work.

The Equality Network was founded in 1997 as a national organisation working for LGBT rights and equality in Scotland. We are a registered charity governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees. Scottish Trans Alliance has been an Equality Network project since 2007. Scottish Trans works to improve gender identity and gender reassignment equality, rights and inclusion in Scotland.

Partnership is a key part of our approach, and much of what we do involves working in partnership with diverse LGBTQIA+ people, other LGBTQIA+ organisations, and with organisations working in the wider equality and human rights field.

In 2026 we launched our new 3-year Strategy which addresses the current context in which we are working. With increasing risk to LGBTQIA+ protections, inclusion and equality and human rights realisation our work is more important now than ever. There are strategies working counter to our hope for a more inclusive Scotland, ones that sow division. We recognise that collaboration, partnership and coalition building is crucial. Our new strategy lays out how we will move forward, work together to push back, sustain and protect what we have already achieved, and together move towards progressive and meaningful change. You can read that here: Equality Network Strategy 2026-2029

THE ROLE

Working in cooperation with our policy team, comms team, community engagement teams and the Scottish Trans Manager and CEO, the Strategic Partnership and Campaigns Coordinator supports the development and delivery of the Equality Network’s work to improve LGBTQIA+ equality, rights and inclusion in Scotland.

The role’s primary purpose is to build strategic and accessible campaigns and relationships particularly around trans rights. This means that the post-holder will work closely with the Scottish Trans Manager.

The role will involve working with partners, the community, and with those who have influence (including the media) in Scotland and where necessary wider in the UK and internationally where expertise is needed on trans equality and human rights issues and priorities. The aim is to build partnerships and coalitions, change hearts and minds, and to collectively push for progressive change for marginalised LGBTQIA+ people, particularly trans people. This will also involve working with teams and partners on how these campaigns for progressive change can contribute to bettering narratives, particularly around trans people’s equality and human rights.

Our new strategy highlights the vital nature of partnerships in the face of a shared threat. Our partners include all other organisations which provide and advocate for our community as equalities and rights-holders, both those explicitly working for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and those who provide and advocate for other marginalised communities, intersectional communities or on issues relevant and pertinent to our community and their lives.

Our key aim with this role is to build effective coalitions in Scotland and to connect with intersecting campaigns to maximise impact.

This new role will work alongside our senior management team and across partner sectors to strategise and push back against current exclusionary policy and harmful narratives around trans people’s human rights.
