We will only accept complete applications, which should include: Application Form, Covering Letter and completed Equal Opportunities Form. 

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

No agencies please. 

This role will engage a diverse range of beneficiaries across the UK, to listen to their views on how Terrence Higgins Trust services should develop, pilot projects to test this and to facilitate how they can actively participate in these future developments. You will:

• Test  innovative approaches with beneficiaries to keep our work fresh and relevant, shaping how we work and what we do.
• Develop and implement digital activity to support the programme
• Actively work with beneficiaries and colleagues to promote meaningful engagement with the programme

The nature of this programme is exploratory and so you will be comfortable with working in a fluid environment.

This role will focus on the East of England and can be based at any of our sites in the region (including Ipswich, Cambridge, Essex, Norwich and Bedford) or at our London Hub (with some travel to the region). The base of the role can be discussed in more detail at interview.

This is a full time post, however flexible options will be considered.

We particularly encourage applications from those with lived experience of HIV.

This recruitment may close early should a suitable candidate be found before the closing date.
