Community Support Engagement Worker

A community-based workers team will deliver specially designed presentations to young people and adult groups across Birmingham focusing on engaging with and delivering pre-prepared stand-up presentations to young people’s and adult community groups across Birmingham.

The post holder will typically deliver multiple sessions per week to groups of up to 10 people, targeting communities where there is an increased risk of gambling-related harm. This will include areas of higher deprivation and other vulnerable groups. This partnership includes Citizens Advice, two gaming/gambling related harms specialist organisations, people with lived experience of GRH and an academic partner working collaboratively with VCSE organisations who engage with young people and adults in the community.

The project is focused on raising awareness of the harms associated with gaming and gambling through community-based interventions with both young people and adults.
