\n The Role\n

\n \n

This is an exciting time to join GamCare as we continue to develop and expand our treatment services. We are looking for Gambling Support Practitioners with qualifications or experience in health or social care or similar roles, and an empathic style to enable people to change their behaviour through skilled interventions.

You will work within GamCare’s Model of Care, supporting individuals through assessment, formulation and recovery planning, and delivering structured and brief interventions tailored to individual need.

You will manage a caseload, supporting service users at different stages of recovery by delivering interventions through face-to-face and remote formats, ensuring accessibility and continuity of care.

The role requires you to work within defined governance, safeguarding and quality frameworks, using professional judgement to manage risk and complexity, and escalating concerns through appropriate supervision and internal processes.
