Outreach and Training Practitioner

Salary: £29,479 pa plus benefits
Location: Sheffield/South Yorkshire | Lincolnshire (Homebased with regional travel)
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full time

Gambling harm affects millions of people across the UK, yet stigma and lack of awareness mean many never seek support. As an Outreach & Training Practitioner at GamCare, you'll be at the heart of changing that, delivering community outreach, awareness sessions and workforce training that help people recognise harm earlier and find the right support sooner. This is frontline, face-to-face work that genuinely matters.

You'll work across your region, partnering with local organisations, statutory services and community groups to make GamCare's services visible and accessible to the people who need them most. Whether you're running a workshop for professionals, holding a conversation at a community drop-in or delivering a brief intervention with someone who's never spoken about their gambling before, your work will have real and lasting impact.

About you

With a background in community outreach, prevention, or early intervention, you’ll understand how stigma and harm interact, and know how to have sensitive conversations that motivate change. You might come from drug and alcohol services, mental health, public health or the VCSE sector, or you may have lived experience of gambling harm yourself. Either way, if you're compassionate, organised and genuinely committed to reaching communities that are often overlooked, we want to hear from you.

Working at GamCare

Founded in 1997, GamCare is one of the leading providers of information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harms. We operate the National Gambling Helpline, provide treatment for anyone who is harmed by gambling, create awareness about safer gambling and treatment, and encourage an effective approach to safer gambling within the gambling industry. 

Staff Benefits we can offer you:

  • 33 days basic annual leave entitlement per annum (pro-rated for part-time ncolleagues) including bank holidays which increases with service.
  • A generous Pension Scheme - we contribute 6% and you contribute 2%.
  • Discretionary company sick pay from day one of service.
  • Employee Assistance Programme – 24-hour support 

Closing date for applications: 5 July 2026.

GamCare is committed to offering the best support to people affected by gambling harms, as such we welcome applications from candidates with lived experience.

GamCare is an equal opportunities employer and doesn’t discriminate based on race, religion, gender, age, sexuality, gender identification, or physical ability. We are only able to facilitate visa sponsorship in very limited circumstances, so candidates outside of the UK or who don’t have the right to work in the UK need not apply.
