Derby, United Kingdom GAMCARE Full time

Are you passionate about improving the lives of people affected by gambling-related issues?

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the impactful work at GamCare and play a key role promoting awareness and support for gambling-related harm.

With the rising prevalence and awareness of gambling-related harms, this is an opportunity to make a real difference within a growing organisation.

About GamCare

Founded in 1997, GamCare is one of the leading providers of information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harms. We operate the National Gambling Helpline, provide treatment for anyone who is harmed by gambling, create awareness about safer gambling and treatment, and encourage an effective approach to safer gambling within the gambling industry.

The role

As an Outreach & Engagement Practitioner, you will actively engage with the public, local community groups, and professionals, and build effective partnerships that promote awareness and support for gambling-related harm. 

You will actively plan and deliver community campaigns, including distributing materials, organising drop-ins, and setting up public stalls, making sure our services are visible and accessible to individuals in need.

By communicating with stakeholders and sharing information on gambling-related harms, you will foster collaboration and create new referral pathways. Building and maintaining relationships with local services, professionals, and community organisations will be essential in identifying gambling harms and improving support networks for individuals on their recovery pathways. 

Please note successful candidates will need to be able to travel around the East Midlands region.

About you

To succeed in this role, you should have experience in community-based work and effectively collaborating with local services and initiatives. 

Your excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, will allow you to engage with diverse audiences and tailor content to professional and public contexts. 

Having a professional qualification in Health, Social Care, Psychology, Youth or Community Care, or relevant demonstrable experience in the field, along with a commitment to continuous professional development, is essential. 

If you are dedicated, compassionate, and eager to be part of a national charity addressing gambling harm, we encourage you to apply for this position. 

Join GamCare today and help us make a lasting difference in the lives of individuals and communities across the country.
