The EPIC Restart Foundation empowers people to restart positive lives after gambling harm.

"I will be forever thankful to EPIC Restart Foundation for being the turning point in my life where I found my purpose again.”

Do you have a passion to support people after an addiction and enable them to lead more fulfilling, purposeful lives? Do you want to raise awareness in communities about where to seek support after gambling harm and help break down the stigma around gambling addiction?

We are seeking an energetic and highly organised individual to join our team as Community Outreach Manager to manage our new REACH programme – building relationships with voluntary and community organisations to help them support others who may struggle to overcome gambling harm - working especially with hard-to-reach audiences and ethnic minority groups.

Lived experience of gambling harm (either directly or indirectly) is an advantage but not essential requirement for this role as you will be collaborating with colleagues who will contribute their lived experience insights to inform REACH activities that you project manage. But you must be passionate about making a difference and excited by the opportunity to transform lives, support people in recovery and be sensitive to their needs.

You will work hands-on to organise and facilitate delivery of a wide range of REACH activities with community organisations including workshops, lived experience events, drop-in advice sessions and social media activities - aiming to reach diverse audiences, reduce stigma and encourage wider discussion about gambling harms recovery.

If you have experience of working with community organisations, good project management skills and an understanding of the inequalities and stigma that prevent people from reaching out for support around gambling addiction - then we want to hear from you.
