Gambling with Lives (GwL) was founded in 2018 by the families and friends of people who had taken their own lives as a direct result of gambling. The charity supports people bereaved by gambling-related suicide, raises awareness of the devastating consequences of gambling disorder, and works to prevent gambling-related suicide. They are now recruiting for a Specialist Family Support Manager, a pivotal position for the organisation that will deliver evidence-based therapeutic support for bereaved families. This role is initially offered as a 1 year FTC(moving to permanent subject to funding). The role is full-time and will be based remotely (although travel will often be required due to service needs, and will cover the Midlands and the North of England).
Please note, you must hold a clinical qualification in a relevant therapeutic discipline to be considered.
As Specialist Family Support Manager, you will work as part of a dedicated, tight-knit team, delivering tailored, therapeutic interventions to families bereaved by gambling-related suicide. You will build consistent, compassionate relationships with families, supporting them to navigate investigations, inquests or research processes linked to gambling harms, ensuring they feel informed, represented and supported. You will ensure that all clinical practice adheres to safeguarding, risk management and professional standards, maintaining accurate and confidential records. You will also work across the wider organisation, providing clinical input into the design of training modules (including training for NHS clinicians and social care professionals) to raise awareness of gambling-related suicide.
We welcome all candidates to apply, regardless of age, sex/gender, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, or pregnancy/maternity. We particularly welcome those who have lived experience to apply.
Please note this role will be based remotely but will include regular travel according to service need across the Midlands and the North of England. This is a full-time opportunity, however an element of flexibility is required as some delivery may take place in the evening, depending on families’ availability.
Interviews to take place on week commencing Monday 9th November.
