School of Sexuality Education is looking for candidates who can help consolidate our existing operations as well as scaling further. We are interested in candidates from a range of backgrounds.

We are particularly keen to hear from people who have lived experience of racism, ableism and/ or transmisogyny. This is because people with these experiences are underrepresented in the charities and the relationships and sex education sector. 

Our values are important to us and we expect our team including Trustees to model our approach of inclusivity and passion for social justice. As a charity working with young people all team members must understand the importance of safeguarding children.
