Do you want to make a difference by raising awareness of gambling-related harms with community groups?
Can you help build confidence in people and communities to talk openly about gambling and reach out for support from our services?
If so, the role of Outreach and Engagement Practitioner could be for you.
One of the key priorities of GamCare Scotland is to reach out to individuals, families, and communities to make it easier to talk about gambling and gambling related harms. This is done by working across the region to engage with underserved communities and ensure everyone can access information and support.
As Outreach and Engagement Practitioner you will be responsible for building effective working partnerships with professional services through the delivery of presentations, networking and creating new referral pathways for those needing support from GamCare services.
You will be integral in making GamCare services accessible as you work within a committed team to achieve this aim.
To meet the needs of the service the role may include some evenings and occasional weekends.
About you
You will be an excellent communicator (written and verbal) and have the ability to present and tailor content for a range of professional and public audiences on sensitive topics.
You will be experienced in community-based work and have the ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders, both internal and external, to champion our vision for gambling support across our region.
If you are committed to providing better support for local communities and you would love to be a part of an innovative and dynamic service, then we would love to hear from you!
