About Us
Founded in 1997, Gam Care 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
Following the success of Gam Care’s Young People’s Gambling Harm Prevention Programme, which has directly reached over 130,000 young people and trained over 28,000 professionals, we have secured funding to continue delivering this essential work and invite you to join us on this exciting journey.
As an Education and Training Lead you will engage key stakeholders in your region, deliver accredited training to professionals, run interactive workshops with young people, deliver awareness sessions with parents/carers, and collaborate with your colleagues to ensure the ongoing improvement and success of the programme.
You will form part of an enthusiastic and supportive team who are committed to supporting young people affected by gambling harms across the United Kingdom. You might have a basic understanding of gambling harms, but if you have the enthusiasm to learn all about it in a non-judgemental way, we would like to hear from you.


About You
If you are skilled at engaging young people or facilitating training and can build strong relationships with stakeholders to generate interest in what our programme offers, then you might be exactly who we are looking for.
As the successful candidate you will be responsible for the promotion and delivery of activity for the Big Deal Programme in your allocated region, equating to 1,900 young people and 225 adults.
With demonstrable experience of championing, promoting, and marketing the work of a programme or service you will actively seek out opportunities in your region, maintain relationships with stakeholders through accurate and timely record keeping, and identify and secure future opportunities for programme delivery.
