Lead a small but growing team and help shape and improve an emerging service, delivering meaningful support to people whose lives have been affected by gambling-related harm.
If you are an experienced support services team leader who has worked in areas such as mental health, addictions, gambling harm, public health, social care, or counselling, this is a great time to join GamCare as we are recruiting a Team Leader to lead our Affected Others Programme and help prevent and reduce gambling-related harm experienced by individuals affected by another person’s gambling.
The Role
As Team Leader of the Affected Others Programme, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of GamCare’s online support services for people affected by someone else’s gambling. Working closely with the Affected Others Programme Manager, you will make sure the service is safe, responsive and well run, supporting the team to identify need, manage risk, respond to safeguarding concerns and deliver high-quality interventions for people who may otherwise struggle to access the right support.
You will also help shape how the service develops. This includes line managing and supporting Services Officers, embedding lived experience into service design, monitoring quality and impact, and using feedback and data to improve what is offered. You will combine compassionate operational leadership with service development, helping build accessible, inclusive support for affected others across the UK.
About You
You will be an experienced support services, peer support or health and wellbeing professional, with a background in mental health, addictions, public health, social care, counselling, nursing, social work or community-based support, who wants to combine compassionate leadership with hands-on service delivery.
You will be motivated by the chance to create safe, inclusive and accessible support for people who may face additional barriers to seeking help, including young adults, neurodiverse people, LGBTQIA+ communities, men and people from ethnic minority backgrounds.
You will need a relevant professional qualification or accredited training in an area such as mental health, addictions, public health, health and social care, psychology, counselling, social work, nursing or peer support leadership. You will bring experience of managing and developing high-performing teams, overseeing peer support or support interventions, and applying safeguarding, risk management and co-production principles in practice.
Strong organisational, communication and service development skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities, create a reflective and supportive team culture, interpret feedback and use learning to improve services.
