Frontline Services Advisor Jobs in Brighton, Brighton And Hove
Who we are
We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for over 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.
Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:
- That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
- That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.
Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.
As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.
Are you the Candidate we’re looking for?
Your mission is to review, develop and enhance people policies to truly reflect the multinational, multi-cultural reality of working in Frontline AIDS. You will be a fully integrated part of the People Team but will be focused entirely on developing, writing and training all colleagues in the team in new and revised people policies. You are confident and competent in juggling the multiple demands on your time. You enjoy playing a strategic role, managing complex stakeholders, and delivering key tasks. You are astute at spotting issues and tackling them before they become problems. In this role you will interact with colleagues at all levels of our organisation and, with a friendly and approachable attitude, you will be committed to making Frontline AIDS a great place to work not just through the policies you deliver but also in how you deliver them. Your actions will be aligned with Frontline AIDS values and behavioural framework, and you will inspire the same behaviour in those around you.
