A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to lead Ireland’s largest LGBT organisation, BeLonG To.

BeLonG To is Ireland’s national LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) youth and advocacy organisation.

Our vision is for an Ireland where LGBT young people are empowered to embrace their development and growth confidently and to participate as agents of positive social change.

BeLonG To provides support services to LGBT young people, their families and professionals who work with LGBT youth through our nationwide network of youth projects. BeLonG To also advocates nationally for political and institutional change, including with government, so as to eliminate barriers to LGBT young people accessing all their rights as equal citizens. We campaign publically to raise awareness and change attitudes and deliver Ireland’s largest anti-bullying campaign ‘Stand Up! LGBT Awareness Week’. BeLonG To played a central role in securing marriage equality by popular vote in Ireland in 2015.

We are currently seeking to recruit a new Executive Director. The Executive Director will hold overall responsibility for the development and implementation of BeLonG To’s strategic plan, giving direction and leadership to the organisation and managing its delivery in line with its philosophy and vision.

The successful applicant will be a skilled, motivated and inspired individual, with an outstanding track record in management, leadership, advocacy and fund-raising. They will possess in-depth knowledge of LGBT youth issues and a proven track record in affecting significant social change.
