Job Purpose

The Gambling Harms Development Worker is dedicated to engaging and supporting individuals as they navigate gambling-related harms and intersecting challenges of homelessness, substance use, and mental ill health. This role facilitates the development of positive social networks and the practical skills necessary to address complexities in a trauma-informed way.

Embedded within a team of skilled practitioners, the role focuses on creating psychologically safe environments that foster connection, empowerment, and the opportunity for the people we support to influence projects through co-design.

The Development Worker is responsible for delivering person-centred support, promoting a culture of leadership and supporting risk-informed decision-making. Utilising a human rights-based approach, the worker ensures that all individuals have their rights upheld, assisting them in overcoming systemic barriers and accessing pathways required to live a life free from harm.

Operating nationally across Scotland, the Gambling Harms Team provides essential support and upskilling with a primary focus on existing Simon Community Scotland services in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Perth.

In addition to visiting services to engage with the people we support and staff, the team connects with external stakeholders and maintains a presence in community spaces to reach the general public and professional partners.

We utilise a hybrid working model that combines remote flexibility with in-person collaboration. While typical hours are Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, this role requires a high degree of flexibility. This includes a willingness to work unsocial hours and travel across Scotland to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

We welcome people who have experienced gambling harm or have been impacted by someone else’s gambling to apply.

Job Summary

Within this exciting role, you will support individuals who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. Based in Scotland, you will connect with and support people across the country who are impacted by gambling harms. Your work will involve developing and hosting safe, trauma-informed spaces where individuals can access support, engage in meaningful conversations, and better understand the harms linked with gambling.

By working directly with people, you will play a key part in creating supportive environments and fostering lasting connections. Central to your approach will be the delivery of a gendered response to harm; you will have the opportunity to utilise Aila’s (aila-scotland.co.uk) specialised “by women, for women” frameworks, ensuring that your support is tailored to navigate the specific systemic barriers and experiences faced by women in this space.

This is a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, as the role involves providing personal and emotional support to women who have experienced trauma, violence, and homelessness, within a women-only accommodation service.

Murray’s Initiative deliver services over 6 days per week and throughout Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire, helping people make meaningful, positive change in their lives.

You can read more about our work and impact in our latest Impact Report.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to lead one of the most ambitious pieces of work in our organisation's history.

Thanks to support from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, we're developing Scotland's first LGBTQ+ Inclusive Care Standard - a co-produced framework that will improve how inclusive care is understood, delivered, and experienced across Scotland.

Working alongside LGBTQ+ people with lived experience, care providers, and national partners, you'll lead the development, piloting and implementation of the Standard, helping to create lasting improvements in health and social care while influencing wider policy, practice and systems.

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together, building partnerships and creating meaningful change.

You don't need to have developed a national Standard before, but you'll bring experience of leading projects, working collaboratively and turning ambitious ideas into practical action. Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ people and creating a future where inclusive care is the norm, not the exception.

Scottish Opera is Scotland’s national opera company and the country’s largest performing arts organisation.

Performances are designed to be inclusive, with supertitles, audio-described and dementia-friendly shows, free and discounted tickets for under-26s, refugees, asylum seekers and schools, and touring productions reaching communities across Scotland.

The charity has a network of Patrons, members and supporters who engage with Scottish Opera at varying levels. This role supports that audience to feel connected and engaged with Scottish Opera, deepening their loyalty and seeking new ways to increase giving levels where possible and appropriate.

You don’t have to have a background in philanthropy, you could have experience across community fundraising, corporate partnerships, individual giving or mid-value fundraising – the most important factor is that you understand fundraising and enjoy building great relationships with supporters and donors. This role is a great opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to step into a management level role, or for a candidate looking to specialise in mid-value, Patrons and membership fundraising.

Working within an arts and culture charity would be helpful for the candidate to have but isn't essential.

About Generations Working Together

Generations Working Together is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland. Our mission is to develop, expand and improve IG practice nationwide. Our vision is to live in a Scotland where different generations are more connected, where everyone has opportunities to build relationships that help to create a more inclusive society.

Intergenerational work means relationship-based projects, activities and events where people of different generations, who might not otherwise meet, do things together in positive and creative ways. It includes any activities which purposefully ignore, remove or break down social, environmental, cultural or institutional barriers between generations e.g. ageism, making spaces for older & younger people to meet naturally, get to know each other, share ideas, pass on &/or learn new skills, work together to identify solutions to problems, addressing challenges in their communities, all the while forging relationships and friendships.

An intergenerational lens can also be applied to the workplace which can now have up to five generational cohorts within. Organisations are considering the impact of this and are questioning whether they have the right policies, processes and ethos in place to support their diverse expectations. Applying an intergenerational lens to the workplace provides an opportunity to consider the benefits that come from diverse generational groups.

As a membership and capacity-building organisation, GWT operate locally and nationally raising awareness, sharing and expanding knowledge and understanding of intergenerational practice and its impact. We provide training and wide-ranging resources and organise learning events and facilitate local and thematic networking opportunities, to enable high quality intergenerational activity to take root on the ground & flourish. GWT lead and deliver pilot projects to support and encourage the development and delivery of intergenerational practice in new settings. We also participate in research projects and scan relevant research taking place across the world for distilling and sharing with our members and others.

A short film narrated by our retired chair Alan Hatton-Yeo MBE can be viewed here on our YouTube channel detailing our history and the background of intergenerational work and its growth in the UK.

Hear from our volunteer Trustees below:

Q.What is it like to be a volunteer Trustee?

A. “Volunteering with GWT this past few years has let me see the value of intergenerational practice in many arenas of life. It has given me greater insight into the passionate practice out there and also the resource and specialism required to support it to be done in ever more meaningful and measurable ways. I have loved the opportunity so far of being part of a Board with such great diversity of age and experience.” (Trustee)

A.“My experience volunteering as a Trustee for GWT over the past nine years has been both rewarding personally and beneficial professionally. Exposure to the Governance and Compliance aspects of Trusteeship has been useful supporting my role as a senior manager within a private sector business, while the opportunity to present to workshops and conferences has been invaluable experience of public speaking. Additionally, working alongside the other Trustees and GWT staff who have a wealth of diverse and in-depth experience has been extremely useful from a professional development perspective. From a personal perspective, being able to give my time to support a cause which is increasingly important to society overall and impacts on the lives of everyone I know is rewarding and well worth the investment in time.” (Trustee)
