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.
