Are you passionate about preventing gambling related harm amongst young people?

Are you skilled at engaging young people or facilitating training?

If you offer experience of delivering training and are an excellent public speaker, this position offers an exciting opportunity to a key role supporting the delivery of GamCare’s Young People’s Gambling Harm Prevention Programme.

About GamCare

Founded in 1997, GamCare is the leading provider of information, advice, and support for anyone affected by gambling harms.

GamCare’s Young People’s Gambling Harm Prevention Programme has directly reached over 130,000 young people and trained over 28,000 professionals.

We strive to ensure young people, their parents, and the professionals working with them are equipped to make informed choices about gambling and have access to age-appropriate support, with the overall aim of reducing gambling harms experienced by young people.

We have secured funding to continue delivering this essential work and invite you to join us on this exciting journey.

The role

As an Education and Training Lead you will be responsible for the promotion and delivery of activity for the BigDeal Programme in Wales.

The BigDeal Programme helps young people to find out more about gambling and gaming, so everyone can make their own decisions and stay safe. 

You will engage key stakeholders, 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.

The position is home-based and involves weekly travel to deliver programme activities within Wales, requiring the occasional overnight stay.

The position is initially a fixed-term contract until 31 March 2025, but there is a possibility of an extension, subject to funding.

About you

Experience of delivering training products tailored to a specific audience and/or delivering interactive, engaging activities to young people either in small groups, classrooms, or large assemblies is essential.

You will need the ability to build strong relationships with stakeholders to generate interest in what our programme offers.

Demonstrable experience of championing, promoting, and marketing the work of a programme or service is a key requirement. Excellent presentation, and facilitation skills are therefore equally important.

You will also enjoy working in a collaborative team environment but will need to be comfortable working autonomously.

Experience of working with children and young people in an educational or youth setting is desirable but not essential.

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.

Benefits you can enjoy

· 33 days basic annual leave entitlement per annum

· A generous pension scheme - we contribute 6% and you contribute 2%

· Discretionary company sick pay from day one of service

· Employee assistance programme – 24-hour support
