Our People Support Coordinator plays a central role in helping LGBT Health and Wellbeing be a great place to work and volunteer.

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.

An exciting opportunity to join a team supporting people affected by substance usage in conjunction with the Edinburgh Access Place

About the project

The Access Place is an integrated service comprising health, housing and social work services under one roof for people experiencing homelessness. The clinical team are supporting people in receipt of medication assisted treatment.

About the role

Working alongside clinicians in the Edinburgh Access Place, you will provide one-to-one person-centred support to people in contact with the GP practice team. You will work with individuals to enable them to identify personal outcomes and priorities for their health and wellbeing and link them to local support services and activities. The role will involve regular travelling around the city to visit clients, attend appointments and conduct assertive outreach. The use of a car may not always be appropriate as parking arrangements vary across the city.

About you

You will have experience of working with people who are experiencing complex social and emotional circumstances, and a strong understanding of the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness. You will use your excellent interpersonal skills to deliver effective one-to-one work as well as make connections with other organisations to establish referral pathways on behalf of people who use the service

How we will support you

We will encourage you to be creative and innovative in your approach to supporting people.

You will be part of a small team, led by a supportive manager. You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.

About us

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We understand that there are many routes into homelessness, and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based.

Our values

• Compassion: We believe that everyone should have the chance to change, no matter how long that might take.
• Respect: We believe in tolerance, acceptance, valuing diversity and treating each other as equals.
• Integrity: We are committed to the highest quality of work, grounded in honesty, generosity, sincerity and professionalism.
• Innovation: We are willing to take risks, challenge convention and be creative in our search for new ways of working, in particular by taking account of the environmental impact of our decisions.
