Recovery Development – Gambling Harms

Overview

Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC) is looking for a proactive, self‑motivated team player to be part of an exciting development in partnership with the Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership (ACHSCP). ACHSCP and SRC were successful in a funding bid through the Gambling Levy Fund, and we now have the opportunity to create a post that will specifically develop a Gambling Harm Recovery Network (GHRN) across Aberdeen City.

Scottish Recovery Consortium will host this post (initially for 1 year) with the potential to extend for another three years. SRC will have an integral role in the project, providing ongoing development work and specialist expertise. The project aims to create a learning, adaptive, person‑centred system of support for gambling harms in Aberdeen City. It ope rationalises national recommendations, leverages local assets, embeds trauma‑informed and lived experience‑driven approaches, and builds a more coherent, equitable, and responsive system of care.

Through this work, ACHSCP and SRC will reduce unmet need and move closer to the national vision for a public health‑led, person‑centred response to gambling harms.

As an employee of the Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC), the post holder will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, who has overall responsibility for the SRC element of this project. The successful post holder will have a unique opportunity to work directly with the Community and Prisons‑based teams within SRC and, externally, with a range of partners across Aberdeen City, including ACHSCP.

This is a role in the north of Scotland, requiring travel across Aberdeen City. There is also an expectation that you will attend SRC monthly staff team meetings in our Glasgow office and any others relevant to organisational work and development.

Your role will be to:

• Asset map the current gambling support across Aberdeen City
• Identify gaps in provision
• Lead the development, design, delivery and coordination of a local GHRN
• Build strong working relationships with partners to ensure the collaborative success of the project
