Gender Outreach Worker

1 day ago

Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Leeds Gender Identity Service offers assessment and support to people aged 17 and above with Gender Dysphoria from an out-patient setting. Peer support was introduced in 2017. The Gender Outreach Service initially offered peer support across set areas of Yorkshire and Lancashire to provide additional support for people waiting to access the service, due to the increased demand for gender services. Due to the success of this initiative, we have successfully bid for additional funds to expand peer support to all people on our waiting list, covering the whole of England.

Peer support is central to the Gender Outreach Lead and Gender Outreach Worker roles. Gender Outreach Workers provide peer support, advice and signposting to people accessing the service. The post holder will work some evenings and weekends around service need. The post holder will act as a line manager to the existing team of Gender Outreach Workers and provide peer support to people on new and existing projects. The postholder will have a base at Leeds Gender Identity Service, with some working from other community locations, and working from home. The postholder will work in close partnership with Leeds Gender Identity Service, Lancashire LGBT and Yorkshire MESMAC to support the team of Gender Outreach Workers and the development of the Gender Outreach service.

It is essential that you have lived experience in relation to gender identity for this post as this is a peer support worker role.

The Gender Outreach Lead will be employed by the Trust and work with third sector organisations and partners. There will be some agile working across the locality involved. The role of the outreach worker is to provide one to one/and or group support to individuals who are awaiting assessment or receiving care from Leeds Gender Identity Service. This will be from a variety of different settings. The Gender Outreach Lead will support people who are undergoing gender transition or are questioning their gender. The service is also developing a dedicated support line, which will also form part of the Gender Outreach Lead role to support with. The Gender Outreach Lead will work as an integral part of the Leeds Gender Identity Service and receive support, supervision, and guidance. The Gender Outreach Lead will also provide support, supervision, and guidance to the team of Band 4 Gender Outreach Workers.The post holder will work in collaboration with Gender Service Leadership team and the identified parent organisations and will have responsibility for leading and coordinating the Gender Outreach Workers within the Service
