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 is Greater Manchester’s NHS trans healthcare service. We are a regional and person-centred service, which is primary care-led. We enable trans, non-binary and gender variant people
to reach their full potential by gender-affirming care. Indigo is delivered as a joint venture
between LGBT Foundation and gtd healthcare.
Trans is an umbrella & inclusive term used to describe people whose gender identity differs in some way from that which they were assigned at birth; including non-binary people, cross dressers and those who partially or incompletely identify with their sex assigned at birth.
The post holder will provide a Speech and Language Therapy service (also known as Voice &
Communication) for trans and non-binary people at Indigo. They will also work as the Team Lead
for the Voice and Communication Therapy team, managing and developing the 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.
We are taking positive action to encourage applications from people of colour (PoC) and other
racially minoritised communities, trans*, non-binary, and/or older people (aged 50+), to improve
the representation of colleagues from these communities in our staff team.
