Pride in Practice is a quality assurance and social prescribing programme for healthcare services that strengthens and develops service providers’ relationships with lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) patients within their local communities. Due to the manner in which data is collected, the needs of minority groups, such as LGBT people, are often not recognised or addressed.

This is a contract role for a total of 75 hours which can be scheduled to fit around your needs.

What’s more, Pride in Practice is endorsed by the Royal College of General Practitioners, Greater Manchester Local Pharmaceutical Committee, the Northern Optometric Society and is part of the Healthy Living Dentistry Framework. This means that we are backed by some of the most prestigious societies, frameworks and committees in the UK, lending legitimacy and expertise to our programme.
Your Role
As a Pride in Practice Co-ordinator / GMMH Sessional Worker, you will work as part of a small team that works with healthcare providers to deliver the Pride in Practice workstream.
