Our approach

Fundamental to the success of our programmes is that solutions are developed in collaboration with the sector, for the sector and by the sector. 

Our Icebreaking approach underpins all our work and feeds into continuous iterative development.

Research sits at the heart of our systems-based approach and spans climate, finance, policy and industrial sectors (e.g. energy, water, transportation, built world, agriculture). 

Our Data Services team deliver market-facing services, including Trust Frameworks 

Our Membership, Community and Communications teams develop strategies that allow us to work in open, transparent ways and continuously seek industry feedback. 

All work is delivered using an agile-based, modular and iterative approach that includes continuous feedback from research and open consultations. Feedback and documentation are published alongside responses and actions taken on our website. 

All outputs, reports, developments and deliverables undergo internal quality assurance. Early-stage research is presented in a weekly Show and Tell for internal, external and peer feedback; fortnightly heartbeat sessions with clients and funders, checks on direction of travel and shows work early; sharing draft materials for feedback is core to our process. 

Benefits of being an Icebreaker?

• Flexible working -  to help you work around your needs and commitments we operate a four-day week, and don’t have work or meetings booked on a Friday.

• Remote working - we may all be working remotely but it doesn't get in the way of us working closely.  Regardless of whether working remotely is by choice or by necessity - daily standups and regular work and non-work related hangouts mean you are connected to the team. 

• Supportive working - Bring and share what you know as you’ll be working with people willing to learn and share knowledge. Foster support in getting the most of the virtual/remote TX from using GoogleDocs/GSuite to Show & Tell sessions

About the Warm Welcome Campaign

Founded in 2022, the Warm Welcome Campaign wants everyone in the UK to find a place of belonging and reconnection at a Warm Welcome Space near their home. We have a bold ambition to enable a more deeply connected society where we all have free access to welcoming community spaces. 

We resource, connect and champion a network of over 5,300 Warm Welcome Spaces and bring together a growing coalition of local, regional, and national partners representing the worlds of charity, faith, business, government, and philanthropy. By working together, we can unlock the power of community spaces made by and for everyone, creating a thriving network of hope and reconnection fueled by human warmth.

Throughout all our work and within our team we live out our values of being inclusive, collaborative and courageous and our personality that is friendly, adventurous and uplifting.

It’s an important moment for us – in the last year we have launched a new five year strategy which shows a clear picture of the path we have set ourselves ahead to continue to deliver and deepen our impact.

Then this could be the role for you.

Learning on Screen is looking for a dependable and skilled Head of Finance & Operations to take ownership of the systems and processes that keep our remote-first charity working effectively.

You will oversee our outsourced providers in finance, HR, and IT, ensure compliance with legal and regulatory standards, and support the CEO with governance and day-to-day operations.

• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities
• A calm, solutions-focused approach and a can-do attitude

This is a brilliant opportunity to make a tangible difference by ensuring our people and processes are well-supported—so we can focus on transforming education through the power of the moving image.

About us
Learning on Screen is a membership organisation that champions the use of moving image and sound in post-16 education. We give educators and students access to millions of films, TV programmes and radio broadcasts—spanning over a century—and support our members to use this content confidently and creatively. From expert copyright advice to innovative partnerships, we help bring teaching to life and open up new possibilities for learning. If you're passionate about education, media, and meaningful impact, you’ll feel right at home here.

This is an opportunity to use your training skills to create real change in how gambling harms are understood and addressed. If you are an experienced facilitator with a passion for inclusive learning and social impact, this is your chance to help frontline teams across the UK better understand and respond to gambling harms.

The Role

At GamCare, we are recruiting a Training Lead to join our Women’s Programme — a national initiative designed to raise awareness of how gambling harm can affect women, and to ensure those affected are recognised and supported.

This is a home-based role with some travel for face-to-face sessions. You will be delivering high-quality, engaging training to a wide range of professionals, helping them build knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to support the people they work with. You will work closely with regional Engagement Leads, developing tailored content and maintaining strong relationships with partners. Your work will contribute directly to a more informed, responsive support system for those at risk of gambling harm.

This position is home-based, with some nationwide travel to deliver training sessions and attendance at two development days per year (location within the UK).

About you

You will bring proven experience in designing and delivering adult training that drives behaviour change — ideally within the charity, health, or social care sectors. You understand how to engage diverse audiences, adapt your approach, and measure impact. You are comfortable working independently but thrive as part of a collaborative team, and you care about making your work accessible, inclusive, and relevant to those who need it most.

Working at GamCare

At GamCare, we’re a growing charity with a clear mission: to reduce gambling harms and support those affected. Every role here has purpose, whether it’s frontline support, programme delivery, or behind-the-scenes infrastructure. We’re proud to be a welcoming, inclusive employer offering flexible working, wellbeing support, and genuine opportunities to learn and grow. We actively welcome applicants with lived experience and from all backgrounds, because better outcomes start with diverse perspectives.
