Role

We understand that many will have other commitments outside of work and so flexible working, part-time hours or job-sharing arrangements will be considered for the right candidate.

Please note; As this post will involve work in a women’s only service, there is a genuine occupational requirement to ensure that we recruit a female Women’s Wellbeing Support Worker and therefore this post is only open to women (exempt under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010).

About Us:

Glasgow Council on Alcohol (GCA) is an independent Scottish charity that works to reduce alcohol and drug-related harm at both individual and community levels. Established in 1965, GCA adopts a long-term, trauma-informed and asset-based approach to changing the culture around substance use. Its services are built on a person-centred, harm-reduction model, supporting people whether their goal is to reduce consumption or achieve abstinence.

GCA offers free, confidential counselling services for people concerned about their own or someone else's drinking. GCA delivers a range of interventions including groupwork and employability support as well as several holistic and inclusive services, such as a women’s service for survivors of gender-based violence, young person’s peer education service, LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing support and tailored wellbeing programmes.

GCA is also a recognised provider of professional development, offering a comprehensive training portfolio including education aimed at increasing awareness of alcohol use and promoting healthier lifestyles, COSCA Counselling Skills and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

GCA deliver services over 6 days per week and throughout Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire, and East Renfrewshire, helping people make meaningful, positive changes in their lives.

The foundation of GCA is our supportive and inclusive culture for all who engage and work with us.
