Fighting With Pride (FWP) is looking for an outstanding regionally focused LGBTQ+ Veterans Community Worker (VCW) to support our LGBTQ+ veterans covering the South East region (following the Thrive Together South East region this is Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire and Surrey).

This fundamental, enabling, rewarding and busy role will make a real difference to the lives of LGBTQ+ veterans, serving personnel and their families. You will be working as part of team of VCWs covering England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.  

FWP was formed in January 2020 to support LGBTQ+ veterans, serving personnel and their families and is a registered charity, founded by Caroline Paige and Craig Jones, now led by Peter Gibson and overseen by a dynamic and experienced Board of Trustees.   

An increasing number of veterans are contacting our charity, particularly since the publication of the Etherton Report, and we want to add to our exceptional team to support them.  You will be highlighting access to the Financial Recognition Scheme before it closes on 12th December 2026, ensuring no LGBTQ+ veteran is left behind. You will also be signposting service users to organisations where they will receive a warm welcome and will develop their self-esteem, self-confidence, independence and resilience, and working those organisations to enable positive LGBTQ+ inclusion.

An LGBTQ+ Veterans Community Team Manager will support you, along with the Executive team at FWP.  

You will have a keen interest in, and thorough understanding of, the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ veterans community (or other related community), previous experience of supporting and developing service users, strong relationship building skills and be a self-starter with a passion for helping people.

If you are interested in joining this friendly and supportive team, please see the attached document with how to apply. Applications close at 4.00 p.m. on Monday, 20th July 2026.
