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.
