Pride in Practice Co-ordinator – Sexual Health (75 Hour Contract)
London (with travel within Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark)
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.
Serving over 40,000 people each and every year, we provide information to a further 200,000 individuals online, making us one of the most significant charities of our kind in the UK. We help all LGBT people to achieve their full potential and aim to be ‘here if you need us’, living by our hashtag #EqualityWins.
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.
We are now seeking a Pride in Practice Co-ordinator to join our team to deliver a pilot of Pride in Practice in Greater London that will focus specifically on sexual health services in Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. This is a contract role running for 76 hours over 10 days with the potential for additional ad hoc hours.

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.
