The Role
Our Families work has been in place since 2011 and has expanded in that time. Your role will be to run our groups for Parents, Carers & Family members both in person (London and Leeds) and online.
This role will involve running groups at the following times:
- 12-5pm on the last Saturday of each month, in London. (26th September, 31st October, 28th November etc.)
- 7:30-10pm on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, online (16th September, 21st October, 18th November, 16th Dec, etc.)
Aims of the Families Service:
1. Parents/carers take part in a gender-affirming community that strengthens acceptance and confidence for themselves and their family members.
2. Parents/carers feel more able to support their trans/non-binary/ gender exploring child’s wellbeing, and to look after their own wellbeing as a parent of a trans/non-binary / gender exploring child.
3. Parents/carers have a reliable, consistent place to access the information and support that matters to them.
You will:
- Identify the needs of family members of young trans people and develop a program of activities and discussion topics to address those needs effectively
- Support the development of community between the parents and carers who access our service
- Deliver sessions which meet the aims of the service
- Work towards our organisation’s goals of improving gender diverse lives and increasing understandings of gender diversity
- Create an empathetic and safer environment for families of trans young people, from first contact throughout their involvement with GI
