Location: remote/ home based, in-person attendance at events is desirable.
Supported/ supervised by: the Events Administration Manager, also working closely with volunteers in the Stalls sub-team and Events team.
Bi Pride UK’s mission is to create spaces where people who experience attraction beyond gender can be freely visible and celebrate themselves and their identities. It’s not enough to be ‘welcome’ at Pride. We make up a very large proportion of the queer community – the 2021 Census actually shows we’re half of the community – and we deserve to be visible and celebrated in our own right.
There are many ways to make this happen, and we work in many ways to bring this change about:
-
Outreach work with other Prides, LGBTQ+ organisations and bi organisations – our consultation work with local Prides, the UK Pride Organisers Network and local and national LGBTQ+ organisations works in a tailored way to make sure that bi inclusion is a top priority and is being done well
-
Organising a high-profile annual Bi Pride event – from September 2019, Bi Pride UK made history with the largest ever gathering of bi people recorded. A performance stage, a panel stage, stall village, street food, and over 1,300 attendees. After going virtual with the BiFi Festival for 2020 due to Covid-19 and running a virtual Pride event in 2021, we came back in person in 2022 with a hybrid event, and have been running the event in this format ever since
-
Building a strong online and virtual community – just as important as the rest of our work is making sure that people hear about it! People need to know what resources and spaces exist for them, and how they can connect with other people like them

This role will provide administrative support to the Stalls Manager and Assistant Manager, as well as working with volunteers across the Events team and wider charity.

-
Attending regular Events team meetings, including Stalls sub-team meetings and venue visits, to contribute to the smooth planning and execution of the event.
Our team volunteers remotely from anywhere in the UK, with some travel required occasionally (primarily for our flagship Pride event in London in August).

The successful candidate will be invited to fortnightly Events team meetings on Wednesday evenings via conference call, in addition to Events Administration sub-team and Stalls sub-team meetings, which will be scheduled in line with the team’s best availability.
