ABOUT THE ROLE:

LGBT Foundation is an impactful, vibrant charity with a wide portfolio of well-established services and rapidly developing new initiatives aimed at meeting the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people. We are looking for two facilitators to deliver a new monthly activity group run by the Pride in Ageing programme for LGBTQ+ Over 50s in Liverpool. This group will be a sessional-led space creating a safe, monthly social gathering for LGBTQ+ over 50s to meet, develop new connections and improve confidence and skills by participating in a series of varied and fun workshops and trips. Attendees to the group will also be signposted and supported to access LGBT Foundation’s other events and services.

Launched by Sir Ian McKellen in June 2019, the Pride in Ageing programme was set up by LGBT Foundation to address concerns that too many lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people over the age of 50 are living in isolation and facing discrimination as a direct result of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Designed with older community members, the programme now runs a year-round calendar of events and volunteering roles for LGBTQ+ over 50s in Greater Manchester and campaigns around wider policy changes, research and training for professionals. This new activity group launching in April 2025 in Liverpool will be the Pride in Ageing programme’s first regular event programme to be established outside of Greater Manchester.

1. This is a sessional role to support LGBT Foundation in planning and running a social group for over 50s in Liverpool. You will be co-working with another person in the same role to deliver the space.
2. The role will be sessional at 5 hours a month. 3.5 hours will be used to run the group meetings in person, and 1.5 hours will be used to liaise with the Pride in Ageing Manager and undertake any necessary planning for the group, including submitting plans for materials, trips and suggesting and contacting speakers for the workshops. The group is funded to run once a month from April 2025 to March 2026, plus three additional special weekend events spread throughout the year.
3. The monthly group will be running on a weekday daytime, with special events running on weekend daytimes. The group will take place in-person at different accessible venues in Liverpool City Centre. Other session planning hours can be worked flexibly in communication with the Pride in Ageing Manager.

We are taking positive action to encourage applications from people of colour (PoC) and other racially minoritised communities, trans*, non-binary, and/or older people (aged 50+), to improve the representation of colleagues from these communities in our staff team.

*Trans is an umbrella & inclusive term used to describe people whose gender identity differs in some way from that which they were assigned at birth; including non-binary people, cross-dressers, and those who partially or incompletely identify with their sex assigned at birth.
