About Loving Me

Loving Me is a by-and-for domestic abuse service for Trans+ people, providing specialist support, advocacy and safe accommodation to transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse people aged 18+ across England.

In 2023, we opened the UK’s first Trans+ domestic abuse refuge, offering safe, affirming accommodation for people at risk of harm. Loving Me is led and delivered by trans people with lived experience, ensuring our services are trauma-informed, gender-affirming and rooted in community need.

Loving Me is based at the Emily Davison Centre, home to over 40 practitioners working together to support people affected by abuse, violence and exploitation.

Roles Available

We are expanding our team and are currently recruiting for four exciting roles within Loving Me:

Domestic Abuse Support Worker (Frontline)

Domestic Abuse Young People’s Support Worker (Trans+)

Youth-Worker-Position-Loving-Me-2026
This specialist role focuses on Trans+ young adults aged 18–25, many of whom face family rejection, isolation and multiple barriers to safety. You will deliver one-to-one and group support, advocacy, safeguarding, and work across the North West to increase access to inclusive services.

Social Work Degree Apprentice (BA Social Work – UCLan)

Carry a caseload and maintain accurate, confidential records

Manage safeguarding and risk, including high-risk situations

Sex workers’ rights Sexual & reproductive rights (SRHR) Health

Sex workers face significant barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including abortion care, particularly in contexts of high criminalization and stigma (IPPF, 2025). Legal and policy restrictions on abortion care as well as stigma on abortion further compounds access to abortion care for sex workers. These barriers operate across multiple levels—individual, community, health system, and policy.

Purpose

IPPF is looking to hire a consultant to develop a comprehensive research protocol, data collection tools, and research plan for a formative research study to understand barriers and facilitators to SRH services especially comprehensive abortion care among sex workers in settings with varying levels of criminalization and stigmatization. The qualitative study is expected to incorporate relevant implementation research methodologies to systematically assess barriers and facilitators as well as the socio-ecological model to understand clients’ access to comprehensive abortion care and generate recommendations for improving care.

Scope of Work
1. Conduct a rapid literature review of abortion access and healthcare among sex workers.
2. Design a protocol incorporating formative analysis domains and socio-ecological levels (individual, interpersonal, community, institutional, policy) for a formative research study.
3. Develop data collection tools aligned with these frameworks.
4. Prepare a research plan detailing sampling, recruitment strategies, and analysis.
5. Ensure compliance with ethical standards, including considerations for vulnerable populations and confidentiality.
6. Adapt the research protocol for submission to national and/or international ethics review committees as identified by IPPF Member Associations and partners including supporting the preparation of required documentation.
7. Facilitate review of the protocol and tools with IPPF Member Associations and community partners and integrate feedback into final deliverables.

Deliverables

1. Conduct a rapid literature review of abortion access and healthcare among sex workers, compiling key references and findings.
2. Draft and final research protocols (objectives, methodology, ethical considerations).
3. Data collection tools (interview guides, consent forms, data collection instructions and tools to facilitate training of data collectors).
4. Research plan with timeline, sampling strategy, and analysis framework.
5. Research ethics submission package (protocol adapted for ethics review/IRB requirements).
6. Brief presentation including PowerPoint slides of protocol and tools to be used by Member Associations, IPPF and community partners.
7. Tools to facilitate qualitative data analysis to support Member Associations to generate quick findings from the data collected.

Qualifications
· Advanced degree in public health, social sciences, or related field.
· Proven experience, including publication of peer-reviewed research studies, in clinical and health research and SRH studies.
· Familiarity with formative research, implementation research methodologies, socio-ecological model, and qualitative research tool development, implementation and analysis.
· Experience preparing ethics review submissions (nationally and internationally)
· Experience living in and working in Middle- and Low-Income Countries (LMICs) and working with sex workers and/or from the sex workers community.
· An intersectional (pro) feminist dedicated to sexual reproductive health care rights and justice, including safe abortion.

Movement building
Equinet is seeking the support of an experienced external consultant (or small consultancy) to facilitate the development of its Strategic Plan 2027–2030.

Background

Equinet is the European Network of Equality Bodies, bringing together national institutions mandated to promote equality and combat discrimination across the European Union and beyond. Through its work, Equinet supports its Members in strengthening their effectiveness, independence, and impact, while contributing to the development and implementation of EU equality law and policy.

As Equinet’s current Strategic Plan (2023–2026) comes to an end, the organisation will develop a new Strategic Plan covering the period 2027–2030. This next strategic cycle comes at a time of significant change in the European equality landscape, marked by the implementation of the new Directives on Standards for Equality Bodies and other relevant legislation for equality, evolving challenging political and social dynamics, technological transformation, and increasing expectations regarding impact, accountability, and sustainability.

Equinet therefore seeks to engage an external strategy expert to support a comprehensive, evidence-based, and participatory strategic planning process that will enable the organisation to define a clear, future-oriented strategic direction grounded in a robust understanding of its role, capacities, and operating environment.

Deliverables and timeline

The consultancy will run from the first quarter of 2026 until September/October 2026, concluding with the adoption of the Strategic Plan at Equinet’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) early October 2026.

Key deliverables will include an inception and baseline assessment/evaluation, a contextual and scenario analysis, facilitation of strategic discussions, a draft Theory of Change, a first full draft of the Strategic Plan, and a revised final version prepared for adoption and its presentation to the Membership at Equinet AGM 2026.

Some key touching points with Board and Secretariat throughout the year have already been established such as:

Equinet Board Retreat – 26-27 March 2026 (Belgium)

Leadership Hub (a meeting of the leaders of all/most Member institutions) – 15-16 April 2026 (Austria)

Equinet AGM 2026 – 14 October 2026 (Brussels)

Expertise Requirement

The consultant should have substantial experience supporting strategic planning processes for non-profit organisations or EU-level networks, particularly those operating in complex policy environments. Specific experience in the equality and human rights field is a strong asset. Proven ability to facilitate high-level strategic discussions and organisational strategy planning development process with Boards and senior management is essential.

Strong expertise in Theory of Change, impact-oriented strategy design, and the integration of monitoring, evaluation, and learning considerations at strategic level is required. The consultant should demonstrate an understanding of sustainability and accountability principles as they apply to membership-based organisations.

Familiarity with EU equality and non-discrimination frameworks, the work and mandate of Equality Bodies and experience working with networks, coalitions, or institutional stakeholders, will be considered a strong asset.
