Sussex Beacon to fundraise at ‘Round the Horne’ at Theatre Royal
Allsorts seeks LGBTQ+ Youth Support Worker
) The Apollo Theatre Company is about to embark on a national tour of Round the Horne, including one night at the Theatre Royal Brighton on January 31.
) Sussex-based LGBTQ+ youth charity, Allsorts Youth Project, is currently seeking to recruit an experienced and enthusiastic LGBTQ+ Youth Support Worker to induct young people into the project, facilitate groups and offer one-to-one support.
On the night, Tim Astley (the company’s founder) and the theatre will be supporting the Sussex Beacon with the charity doing bucket collections at the end of the show. With its infamous movie spoofs and hilarious regular characters such as Julian & Sandy, Rambling Syd Rumpo and J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock, Round the Horne was a cultural phenomenon, regularly drawing up to 15 million listeners per week and making stars of Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick and Betty Marsden. Tim Astley said: “We are very pleased to be supporting the Sussex Beacon with this production.

“Round the Horne is rightly still loved by the LGBTQ+ community, as well as by the British public as a whole and I hope our show serves as a fitting tribute to the brilliant work the original show did to help break down barriers. “It is fitting that we should help to pay this forward by supporting the Beacon and the fantastic work they do with people living with HIV across Sussex.”
The successful candidate will act as a positive LGBTQ+ role-model for service users and join a growing, professional and passionate team who support LGBTQ+ children, young people and their families and challenge exclusion, prejudice and discrimination in all areas of their lives. Katie, Allsorts’ CEO, said: “We are thrilled to be in a position to recruit a new LGBTQ+ Youth Support Worker, and to continue expanding our services across Sussex. The last two years have been so challenging for all of us, and for many LGBTQ+ children & young people, specialist services like Allsorts’ have been a lifeline. If you
have experience in this area and would like to be part of our growing team that supports LGBTQ+ children & young people across Sussex, we would love to hear from you.” Allsorts' new full-time position at £24,491 per annum is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community and will offer a fixed term contract until February 2023 (subject to passing probation and funding thereafter). Allsorts particularly encourages applications from PoC, those with disabilities / neurodivergence and/or those who are from other marginalised groups in society, as these groups are currently underrepresented in the Allsorts workforce and the wider charity sector. ) For full details, job pack and application form, visit www. allsortsyouth.org.uk/about/jobs or email recruitment@allsortsyouth. org.uk for further information.
