You will be responsible for delivering our 'Preventing Gambling Harms in Diverse Communities' workshops to young people in Diverse Communities in Greater London and the Home Counties.
Education and Awareness Experts will work within the PGHDC team, consisting of a full-time project manager and a full-time Project Officer, to attend client venues and deliver impactful workshops on gambling harm. Following the delivery of workshops, Education and Awareness Experts will be responsible for the collection and return of completed evaluation and feedback forms.
We're proud of this first-of-its-kind initiative to raise awareness of and reduce harm in disproportionately affected communities. We're also proud of the content that we have developed and the results that our workshops have received so far - more information on this can be found on our website.
Uniquely, our workshops reflect on harm to the individuals who gamble and others around those who gamble. Moreover, we're lucky to have had our content be developed by a talented team consisting of young people with lived experience; this means that our workshops are well received as they keep young people engaged with high-quality emotional audio-visual content.
The role will be based primarily in Greater London and would suit someone who is able to commute across Greater London and the Home Counties.
