People Support Coordinator

Salary: £29,784

Hours: 36 hours (full-time)

Location: Edinburgh, with flexible working

Deadline: Monday 27th July (9am)

Our People Support Coordinator plays a central role in helping LGBT Health and Wellbeing be a great place to work and volunteer.  

About LGBT Health and Wellbeing

LGBT Health and Wellbeing was established in 2003 to improve the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people across Scotland. 

Today, we are Scotland’s national charity for LGBTQ+ adults, working every day to make sure people have somewhere to turn, somewhere to belong, and somewhere they can be themselves. 

We create spaces where LGBTQ+ people can find connection, support and a sense of belonging. We provide services that help people through difficult moments, build confidence and feel less alone. We also use what we learn from our communities to influence the systems, services and decisions that shape our lives. 

Our impact is only possible because of our people. From staff and volunteers delivering frontline services, to trustees providing strategic leadership, every person plays an important role in creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ people across Scotland. 

We are recognised as a trusted and credible voice on LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing, particularly in mental health, trans wellbeing and the experiences of LGBTQ+ elders. 

At the heart of everything we do is a simple aim: a Scotland where LGBTQ+ people thrive, no matter who we are.

About the role

Our People Support Coordinator plays a central role in helping LGBT Health and Wellbeing be a great place to work and volunteer. 

Working across the organisation, you’ll support the recruitment, onboarding and development of our people, helping to ensure staff, volunteers and trustees receive an excellent experience from the moment they join us. You’ll coordinate key People processes, maintain accurate records and policies, support managers with day-to-day People administration, and help ensure we remain legally compliant and aligned with best practice. 

You’ll also play an important role in supporting organisational governance, coordinating Board administration, maintaining document control and working alongside our external HR advisers to keep our people policies up to date and effectively communicated. 

This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are quite the same. If you enjoy working with people, improving systems and helping organisations run smoothly, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference behind the scenes while supporting the delivery of life-changing services for LGBTQ+ people across Scotland. 

As part of this role, the successful candidate will be supported to work towards a recognised CIPD qualification, providing an excellent opportunity to develop professionally while building a career in People practice. 

 

About you

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with people, is highly organised and takes pride in helping others succeed. 

You’ll bring experience of administration within a People, HR or organisational support environment, alongside excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage a varied workload. You’ll be comfortable handling confidential information, building positive relationships across the organisation and supporting managers with a wide range of People processes. 

You don’t need to know everything on day one. We’re looking for someone with the enthusiasm to learn, the confidence to take ownership of their work and a genuine commitment to creating an outstanding experience for our staff, volunteers and trustees. 

Most importantly, you’ll share our commitment to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ people and helping us build an inclusive, supportive workplace where everyone can do their best work.
