On March 3rd 2022 the Scottish Government introduced a Bill to reform the Gender Recognition Act, which aims to make it easier for trans men and women to change the sex recorded on their birth certificate.
Check out our pages on the reform itself, what will change, and how it will impact trans men and women in Scotland, and email your MSPS to tell them why you support simplifying the Gender Recognition Act.
We are looking to recruit one or more Sessional Trainers to increase our capacity to deliver trans and LGBTI+ awareness training to a wide variety of organisations.
Part-time sessional work as agreed, up to 10 hours per week, flexible hours. Salary: £15.62 per hour plus holiday pay and 8% pension contribution (equivalent to SJC point 27, AP4.1, £28,429 full-time).
The closing date for applications is 9am on Monday 10th October 2022.
