Job description
Whether your background is in gambling-specific treatment or in the wider addiction and recovery field, drug and alcohol services, mental health, or related social care, being a Gambling Support Practitioner is a strong fit for people with real experience supporting behaviour change.
You'll find plenty here that's familiar: full structured interventions using CBT and motivational interviewing, supporting people through assessment, formulation and recovery planning, as well as brief check-ins for clients further along in recovery, all delivered within GamCare's Model of Care. Sessions are delivered face to face, by phone and by video, alongside outreach and partnership work with local services and referral pathways. You'll manage this with your own professional judgement on complex cases, working within clear governance and safeguarding frameworks and backed by regular supervision, using the core skills you already have, applied in a new context and grounded in a proven, structured model.
About you
We're looking for someone with real experience delivering CBT-informed or motivational interventions, wherever that experience comes from. You'll be confident managing a caseload with genuine complexity and risk, comfortable using both low- and high-intensity interventions, and able to work within clear governance and safeguarding frameworks while using your own professional judgement. Experience specifically with gambling harm is welcome but not required, and many strong practitioners in this field have come from adjacent addiction or mental health backgrounds.
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.
Our people tell us GamCare is a genuinely supportive place to work. We invest in training and development, and are committed to inclusion, welcoming applications from all backgrounds, including candidates with lived experience of gambling harm.
Staff Benefits we can offer you:
- 33 days basic annual leave entitlement per annum (pro-rated for part-time colleagues) including bank holidays which increases with service.
- A generous Pension Scheme - we contribute 6% and you contribute 2%.
- Discretionary company sick pay after 6 months’ service.
- Employee Assistance Programme – 24-hour support
- Premium access to the CALM app for you and up to 5 dependents
Closing date for applications: Sunday 23rd August 2026 (23:59).
Due to the anticipated volume of applications, we may conduct pre-assessment screening calls between 1st and 2nd September2026.
Interviews are expected to take place in person from 7 September 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.
