About EPIC Restart Foundation

EPIC Restart Foundation is a charity grounded in the lived experience of gambling harm. We deliver transformational programmes that change lives.

Our team collaborates closely with individuals in recovery to create innovative programmes. These empower people across the UK to rebuild their lives following gambling harm. We build awareness of recovery support pathways and work to dismantle the stigma surrounding gambling addiction.

We address a crucial gap in long-term recovery support. Our approach is respected for its empowerment and focus on lived experience. The EPIC Restart Community is an inspiring online network offering community, learning, and connection. Our intensive programmes, Restarting Lives and Woman.Empowered, provide life-changing events, personal development, and recovery coaching.

Our team has grown significantly in recent years. We’ve directly supported over 600 individuals since our pilot launch in May 2021. Additionally, we’ve reached over 20,000 people through online and outreach activities. We’re embarking on a new two-year strategy aimed at becoming a Centre for Excellence in gambling harm recovery. We deliver transformational programmes with measurable impacts and influence stakeholders to increase support for those in recovery.

We currently have a strong financial position, but funding methods are set to change significantly. In 2025, the Government will introduce a statutory levy on gambling operators. Funds will be distributed to commissioners for research, prevention, and treatment grants. This process is still developing, so our path remains uncertain. However, we are optimistic and see growth potential as feedback on our work has been positive.

Who we are looking for

During a period of transformation, we need an experienced leader adept at developing relationships with commissioners. This could stem from the gambling harm sector or other relevant fields like addiction, homelessness, domestic abuse, or mental health.

Our Chief Executive must lead change effectively through ambiguity. Over 70% of our staff and volunteers have a lived connection to gambling harm, so it is vital that you can lead with empathy, kindness, and compassion, particularly during this time of transition.

As the new CEO, you will have:

• Excellent financial and interpersonal skills
• A stellar track record in delivering organisational development and growth
• Experience of significant income generation and robust financial management.
• Strategic vision.

You must be willing to support people in recovery, be sensitive to their needs and be committed to keeping people safe whilst making a difference.

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We encourage all individuals to apply, particularly those with a personal connection to gambling harm, though this is not a requirement.

ABOUT THE CENTRE FOR PUBLIC IMPACT

At the Centre for Public Impact, we believe in the potential of government to bring about better outcomes for people. Yet, we have found that the systems, structures, and processes of government today are often not set up to respond to the complex challenges we face as a society. That’s why we have an emerging vision to reimagine government so that it works for everyone. 

A global not-for-profit organisation founded by the Boston Consulting Group, we work in partnership with governments, philanthropy, civil society and communities to challenge the status quo, shift mindsets, and bridge the gap between people and those in power. 

CPI currently operates in four regions of the world, all stewarding CPI’s mission in different geographies: Asia, Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand, Europe, and North America. We are all supported by our Global Hub team, who provide leadership and partnership in relation to finance and operations, people and culture, and communications to our regional teams at CPI.

Our Values

• Curiosity - We champion exploration and creativity.

• Courage - We are authentic and brave in our decisions and actions.

• Collaboration - We share power and work together.

• Empathy - We embrace others’ perspectives and experiences.

• Equity - We disrupt systemic barriers to shift power.

Centre for Public Impact, Europe (CPIE)

Since its founding in August 2020, CPIE has built a rich portfolio of programmes working with public sector organisations, governments, academic institutions, charities and foundations across Europe to explore how we can make government and philanthropy more effective and trusted to work for everyone. We have grown from a team of 7 to a team of  16 and have been expanding our work as a programme delivery organisation working directly with governments, philanthropies and organisations on the ground. 

At CPIE, our culture is founded on the values and principles within our vision for government. So in everything we do we aim to be humble, open, empathetic, authentic, trusting and trustworthy, curious and to champion diversity and inclusion. We continually experiment with ways to embody our values, striving to share power and devolve decision-making to those best placed to make the decision. We challenge traditional hierarchies, adopt a strengths-based approach, and prioritize mutual support. As a team, we care deeply about each other and the work we do, and together we aim to foster  a culture of collaboration and respect. We are committed to embedding equity and inclusion not only in our programmatic work  but in the very fabric of how we work and relate to one another. 

At CPI Europe, our developing programme areas of strength are in:

• AI and digital transformation 

• Urban transformation 

• Climate action
