We help all LGBT people to achieve their full potential and aim to be ‘here if you need us’, living by our hashtag #EqualityWins.

We provide a range of sexual health services focused on sex positivity and sexual wellbeing. This includes rapid HIV testing across Greater Manchester, one-to-one advice 'Let's talk about sex', group workshops and spaces, free condoms and lube, outreach stalls with a range of resources and group play packs.

We’re looking for a Sexual Health Lead to join us on a fixed-term contract until 31st May 2021 and oversee the development and delivery of our Sexual Health Programme as part of our Sexual Health Vision 2030 plan.

The Rewards

- Salary of £29,913 per annum

- Flexible working to support a healthy work/life balance (including time off in lieu and flexi-time)

This is a brilliant opportunity to play an integral role in the success of our Sexual Health Programme and make a positive impact on our healthcare system.

You will have the chance to act as an advocate for LGBT people by ensuring that healthcare services are inclusive, well-informed and able to meet the needs of every member of the community.

We believe in a fair and equal society where all lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people can achieve their full potential, but many still face persecution, discrimination and stark health inequalities. If you want to help us bring about positive, lasting change, we want to hear from you.

The Role

As the Sexual Health Lead, you will oversee the delivery of the Sexual Health Programme. You will ensure that lesbian, gay, bi, trans and men who have sex with men receive the highest quality information and services according to their individual needs.

You’ll also build and maintain strong relationships with key partners and networks to increase awareness of the needs and experiences of all LGBT people regarding their sexual health, particularly men who have sex with men.

Your other duties will involve:

- Line managing two Sexual Health Co-ordinators
- Overseeing the delivery of all aspects of the programme, including testing services, wellbeing workshops and the condom and lube distribution scheme (CLDS)

Experience of engaging users to help shape and develop services would also be beneficial, as would knowledge of NICE, BASHH and BHIVA guidance related to sexual health. An understanding of the function and purpose of other sexual health services across Greater Manchester would also be an advantage.

Other organisations may call this role Sexual Health Programme Manager, LGBT Sexual Health Programme Manager, LGBT Health Programme Manager, Sexual Health Programme Lead, or LGBT Healthcare Programme Manager.

We particularly welcome applicants who identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), trans, and/or older (50+) as colleagues from these backgrounds are currently underrepresented in our organisation.
