Manchester, Greater Manchester (office/field based, with travel to sites across Greater Manchester)
If you have experience in a health service delivery role and strong leadership skills, this is an incredible opportunity to help shape vital services for the LGBT community.
About Us
Nationally significant and focused on a fair and equal society, we are the LGBT Foundation, a charity supporting the needs of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans.

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

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

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.

This is a pivotal time for data protection and privacy and the ICO’s work as the UK’s information rights regulator has never been more relevant.
Almost everything we do creates a digital data trail - shopping online, posting on social media, banking on the go or scanning a travel card. Our personal data has never been more valuable and we should be able to trust that organisations will treat it fairly and look after it securely.
Whether we’re investigating a cyber-attack on a multi-national company or the loss of patient data from a local hospital, the ICO will take action on behalf of the UK public.
The data protection laws we regulate have undergone recent reform, our battle to stop the scourge of nuisance calls is gathering momentum and our role in upholding the Freedom of Information Act is vital in ensuring the public’s right to know.
The communications team at the ICO plays a central role in achieving our aim to increase the public’s trust and confidence in how their personal data is used and to improve the standards of information rights practices in organisations.
The role
We are looking for an experienced and effective communications professional to join our expanding team.
The ICO has a national and international profile. You’ll need experience of working in a demanding press office, and a clear understanding of how the national media works and what they want from a UK regulator’s press office.
You’ll be as comfortable dealing with a press enquiry from a national newspaper as planning how a documentary crew can film the execution of a search warrant.
We encourage creativity in communicating the ICO’s work and you’ll understand how to use and develop a wide range of communication tools to achieve your objectives. You’ll be expected to make recommendations to colleagues on the best way to reach their audience, take a lead role on communications projects, and be comfortable briefing and advising senior staff.
You’ll be educated to degree level, or have substantial work experience in the media or communications field.
