About the role

We are looking for volunteers with an interest in research to help us understand and advocate for the needs of LGBTQ+ people across the UK. This is a fantastic opportunity for students, early-career researchers, or anyone who enjoys structured, methodical work.

You’ll work closely with our CEO and staff team on projects such as:

• Producing reports on LGBTQ+ community needs
• Mapping gaps in existing legislation
• Gathering and analysing evidence to support campaigns for legislative change

What you’ll gain

• Experience working directly with the leadership of a national LGBTQ+ charity
• The chance to develop research, analysis, and advocacy skills
• The opportunity to contribute to meaningful, real-world impact for LGBTQ+ communities
• A flexible, supportive volunteering environment without the red tape of large organisations

Application Process

Applying is simple. Please email jobs@pridecommunityfoundation.org with:

• A short statement about yourself
• Any access or support requirements you may have
• Your connection to the LGBTQ+ community
• Why this opportunity interests you
  

We’ll then be in touch to arrange a short “get to know each other” meeting.
