Sasha’s Career Journey: From a Criminology Degree To Clinical Admin with GamCare

GamCare – a Youth Friendly Employer and Charity helping people with gambling problems – helped Criminology graduate Sasha Cimino find a caring career path with space to grow. Read Sasha’s story below.

Charities like GamCare can help graduates who are struggling to find quality roles…

“After completing my Criminology degree in 2019, I struggled finding a role in an organization linked to my degree field – working for charities has been an important step in beginning my post graduate career.

Working as a clinical administrator for GamCare has allowed me to further my experience in the charity sector, and my role has given me a great opportunity to carry out client facing work – even playing a small part in a client’s treatment journey can really make a difference.”

How does Youth Friendly Employer GamCare support young people beginning their careers?

“The organization is extremely welcoming and there are lots of opportunities for training and progression, both internally within the treatment team and across GamCare’s other departments.

Being a young person in a work environment can be challenging when you are still finding your feet, but my colleagues made me feel comfortable from day one and I felt integrated within the company very early on. I would definitely recommend working here to any young person looking to join the charity sector.”
