You have experience working with children and young people in a youth or similar setting. You bring strong energy, enthusiasm and creativity to frontline youth provision. While you don’t need to identify as LGBTQ+, you must have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ communities and a commitment to equity and inclusion.

This is an exciting opportunity to help develop the Youth & Education Service at a well-respected Sussex-based organisation. You’ll be part of a team that’s passionate about making a real difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ children, young people, and their families.

Allsorts’ mission is to listen to, connect, and support children and young people under the age of 26 who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer (LGBTQ+), or exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

By placing children and young people’s voices at the centre of our work, we ensure that our understanding of their ongoing and evolving needs continues to inform our service provision. There are three main strands to our service provision, all of which aim to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ children and young people.

Youth and Education Service:
We offer youth groups, programmes, one-to-one support, activities, residential trips, in-school support, and much more for children and young people across Sussex.

Parents & Carers Service:
We offer groups, one-to-one support, activities, information sessions, and much more for parents & carers of LGBTQ+ children and young people across Sussex.

Training and Consultancy Service:
We provide LGBTQ+ Inclusion Training for a wide range of organisations, with a focus on organisations working with children and young people. Our goal is to help build people’s knowledge of LGBTQ+ issues and their confidence in being effective allies to LGBTQ+ children, young people and adults.
