Our approach
Consortium has implemented practices that aim to reduce bias in our recruitment process. When reviewing applications, the information provided in your covering letter will be viewed independently, without access to information from your CV or the personal details provided.
We are committed to improving representation across our organisation and believe that Consortium’s team should reflect our diverse communities. Additionally, the focus of this post is proactive engagement with trans and non-binary communities. With that in mind, we are particularly keen to hear from people with an understanding and appreciation of the specific and intersectional issues faced by communities this project will engage, including from lived experience.
Appointments will be based on merit. Equity is important to the success of our team and work. We don’t want any barriers to applying so if you would like to discuss particular aspects of our approach or get a better understanding of whether Consortium is right for you, then please contact Paul, our CEO, on: [email protected].
Employee benefits
Consortium has been working as a virtual organisation for nearly 10 years with a team spread across the UK, all working from their own homes. A working from home payment, of a discretionary amount in line with HMRC guidance, is made to all staff to contribute to costs that might be incurred through this way of working.
Consortium encourages its team to maintain a good work life balance. Staff are encouraged to take time off in lieu for any hours worked beyond their contracted hours. Consortium’s core hours are between 10am and 3pm and staff can agree regular working patterns with their line manager.
Consortium has an auto-enrolment pension scheme, which all eligible employees benefit from. Employees also get their birthday off, and we are trialling access to professional counselling/clinical supervision.
Background and role purpose
Consortium hosts the UK’s largest network of LGBT+ organisations with around 550 member organisations and 14 members of staff, who are based across the UK. We also host the Trans Organisations Network (TON), which has over 50 trans-led organisations engaged. Thanks to funding from City Bridge Trust, plus additional core funding, we created a dedicated role to lead on the support of that network as well as our wider work with trans-led groups and organisations.
Consortium operates as an office-less organisation, so it is important we maintain agile and efficient systems. The team share on an online, secure, filing platform and the majority of our day-to-day processes are conducted through this system. All new recruits will receive a full induction on our systems and how they operate, with ongoing support available.
