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.

Indigo Gender Service is setting the national standard for a pioneering, localised and person-centred primary care-led partnership that enables trans, non-binary and gender variant people to reach their full potential.

The Care Navigator is a dual aspect role. Care Navigators provide a coordinated approach of essential practical support, non-clinical advice and advocacy to individuals who are accessing or wishing to access the service. Care Navigators also undertake administration for the service to ensure a consistent, empathetic, and trans-affirmative approach throughout the service that is informed by the needs and experiences of trans and non-binary people.

This non-clinical role ensures that the needs and experiences of trans and non-binary people are at the centre of the GM Trans Health Service.

As this role focuses on working for a service specifically designed by and for trans and non-binary communities, we believe lived experience of being trans and/or non-binary and having experienced NHS gender transition services will be hugely valuable to the role.

Our values and behaviours are an important part of who we are; we feel it is essential to get the right people to work with us, so these values need to be as important to you as they are to us.
