Join the Team!
Looking for a challenge? Want to get involved in caring for the trans community?
TransBareAll are excited to be looking for new volunteers to join the management team. We are working hard to improve our diversity so would be really excited to hear from People of Colour to increase our diversity of experience.
The TBA team is a group of volunteers who, each year, organise three weekend-long residential events for up to 25 people and sometimes one long-weekend residential party for 60. We also try to engage with other community events throughout the year (like Trans Pride Brighton, UK Black Pride etc.) We work together on a consensus basis and each take the lead on different aspects of the TBA work to create accessible spaces for trans people to explore and grow together.
Benefits
-
You will attend TBA events free of charge and all expenses will be paid.
-
A team away day happens, focused on upskilling on a relevant topic chosen by the team. Previous training has included anti-racism awareness and alcohol awareness.
-
You can gain new skills.
-
You can build on and improve existing skills.
-
Make a difference to the wellbeing of trans people
-
Work with a great team (well, we think so...)
What would you have to do?
Before you send us your expression of interest, please note that as a baseline we expect that all team members commit to:
-
Assisting with Planning the weekends
-
Attending at least two weekends per year
-
Helping out with promotion and other events
-
Attending the yearly management team development weekend at which we plan the year ahead.
-
Attending the yearly training session (one day)
-
Engaging with the rest of the team in our monthly meetings and inbetween.
Be mindful that attending a TBA Weekend as a guest is different to attending as a team member. You will be expected to work throughout the weekend as part of the team to create and maintain the space.
How to apply
You can express your interest, making sure you cover these points:
-
Why you want to join the TBA team
-
Your lived experience (e.g. what communities are you part of and how are you involved in them?)

If writing isn’t for you, you can submit an video or audio recording. Please let us know if you have any access needs.
If your expression of interest matches what we are looking for, the next stage will be an informal interview, to meet some of the team and so we can get to know you better. It’s also a chance to ask us questions and understand how we work!
Who can apply?
Anyone of any gender can apply. We are a trans-led and trans-majority organisation, but we also include cis people who are part of the community as allies, partners and friends.
We positively welcome applications from People of Colour.
