GamCare is the UK’s leading provider of advice and support to problem gamblers and their loved ones.

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and experienced Head of Programmes to strategically develop and lead on GamCare’s programme of engagement and awareness-raising projects.

After a number of successful fundraising initiatives in 2018/19, GamCare has developed several large-scale projects and significantly grown its engagement and awareness-raising activities in the past year. This growth has resulted in the formation of a Programmes Team, whose function is to deliver these varied projects coherently and consistently in line with GamCare’s mission and strategy. 

Programmes currently include two national programmes (focused on women and young people), seeking to raise awareness of gambling issues and provide outreach into communities, as well as several more developmental areas of work such as activity in the criminal justice system and with the armed forces community.  Funding is from a mixture of corporates, trusts and foundations and statutory sources.
