Role: Engagement Advice Worker – Better Together Service

Location: Lambeth, London (Community-based with flexible working)

Package: Generous Pension (7% Employer Contribution) | 26 Days Annual Leave + Bank Holidays (rising to 31 days) | Kind, Inclusive Culture

Why Join Age UK Lambeth?

At Age UK Lambeth, we believe getting older should be celebrated, not sidelined. We exist to challenge the stigma of ageing, tackle social isolation, and make sure older adults get the right support at the precise moment they need it.

We’re a learning space, not a knowing space, which means we listen, adapt, and build real relationships with our community. If you are passionate about empathy, human connections, and driving meaningful local change, you’ll fit right in.

The Role: What You’ll Be Doing

Gambling-related harm often goes unnoticed, carrying a heavy stigma for those affected—both directly and indirectly (affected others). Through our Better Together service, you will be on the frontline of changing that narrative in Lambeth.

This role is a dynamic blend of proactive community engagement and impactful, one-to-one support.

Community Engagement and System Change

• Meet people where they are: Take our message straight into the heart of Lambeth—visiting barbershops, faith groups, sports venues, shopping centres, and local cultural hubs.

• Build local alliances: Partner with community leaders, residents, and local organisations to spark open conversations, break down stigma, and drive referrals.

• Educate and inspire: Deliver lively presentations, host information sessions, and help run conferences to train local professionals and raise public awareness while helping to normalise conversations about gambling harms so they are easier to recognise, prevent, and seek support for.

Personalised, Strengths-Based Support

• Provide 1:1 tailored advice: Work directly with adults impacted by gambling harm to identify their strengths, set personal goals, and rebuild their wellbeing.

• Offer holistic social prescribing support: Guide clients toward specialist care (such as the NHS Primary Care Gambling Service) while helping them navigate connected challenges like housing, debt, loneliness, and mental health.

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• Outreach Expertise: Proven experience stepping out into the community, running outreach activities, and speaking confidently to audiences of all sizes.

• Relationship Building: Natural networking skills with a knack for establishing trust with community groups, residents, and multi-agency partners.

• Caseload Management: The ability to work independently, manage shifting priorities, and adapt seamlessly as our service grows.

• Clear Communication: Warm, engaging interpersonal skills paired with clean, accurate record-keeping.

• Empathy & Drive: A genuine commitment to person-centered support and outcome-focused work.

• Energy & Enthusiasm: Bring warmth, energy, and a positive spark to every interaction, making conversations engaging, memorable, and impactful.

Please don’t worry if you do not have experience working with those affected by gambling, Age UK Lambeth will provide full training including Level 2 under the “Don’t Gamble With Health” programme.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Strong Financial Support: Generous pension plan with a 7% employer contribution.

• Work-Life Balance: 26 days of annual leave (plus public holidays), increasing to 31 days after 5 years.

• A Culture That Cares: Join a supportive, warm team that puts kindness and flexibility at the core of everything we do.
