About LGBT Health and Wellbeing

LGBT Health and Wellbeing was established in 2003 to improve the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people across Scotland.

Today, we are Scotland’s national charity for LGBTQ+ adults, working every day to make sure people have somewhere to turn, somewhere to belong, and somewhere they can be themselves.

We create spaces where LGBTQ+ people can find connection, support and a sense of belonging. We provide services that help people through difficult moments, build confidence and feel less alone. We also use what we learn from our communities to influence the systems, services and decisions that shape our lives.

Our impact is only possible because of our people. From staff and volunteers delivering frontline services, to trustees providing strategic leadership, every person plays an important role in creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ people across Scotland.

We are recognised as a trusted and credible voice on LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing, particularly in mental health, trans wellbeing and the experiences of LGBTQ+ elders.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple aim: a Scotland where LGBTQ+ people thrive, no matter who we are.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to lead one of the most ambitious pieces of work in our organisation's history.

Thanks to support from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, we're developing Scotland's first LGBTQ+ Inclusive Care Standard - a co-produced framework that will improve how inclusive care is understood, delivered, and experienced across Scotland.

Working alongside LGBTQ+ people with lived experience, care providers, and national partners, you'll lead the development, piloting and implementation of the Standard, helping to create lasting improvements in health and social care while influencing wider policy, practice and systems.

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together, building partnerships and creating meaningful change.

You don't need to have developed a national Standard before, but you'll bring experience of leading projects, working collaboratively and turning ambitious ideas into practical action. Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ people and creating a future where inclusive care is the norm, not the exception.
