Finance Assistant

Gendered Intelligence (GI), established in 2008, is a registered charity that works to expand understandings of gender and improve the lives of trans people.

We are a trans-led and trans-involving organisation with a wealth of lived experience, community connections of many kinds, and a depth and breadth of trans community knowledge that is second to none.

We imagine a world where many different gender identities and expressions are visible and valued and where trans, non binary and gender exploring people live healthy, safe and fulfilled lives.

Gendered Intelligence is structured into four departments:

Professional and Educational Services (PES)
Working with professionals and organisations to develop trans inclusivity in workplaces and services, primarily through training and consultancy
Youth and Communities Services (YCS)
Services and projects that work with young trans people and trans adults - and those who support them - to support well-being and enable our community to thrive
Public Engagement (PEng)
Work with public policy and decision makers, the media, researchers and academics as well as the general public and major institutions to raise awareness;
Operations (OPS)
All internal support functions such as finance, HR, office management and IT
