Jobs in Buckhurst Hill

Comradeship and sense of community are among the key elements of the health and wellbeing package enjoyed by residents of the Royal Hospital Chelsea – the Chelsea Pensioners.  Our Veteran’s Outreach programme launched in late 2022 with the aim of extending this offer to the wider veterans’ community in the Greater London region and we have successfully built our own network of older veterans from all three services who, as ‘Out Pensioners’, regularly attend events, activities and Drop Ins at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. We seek to expand our programme beyond Greater London and will start by focusing on the 8 counties of the Southeast region as a pilot scheme which, in due course, we intend to duplicate in other regions.

The Regional Veterans Outreach Officer is vital to bring our expansion plans to fruition. They will be expected to help plan, develop and deliver the regional programme with the aim of reducing social isolation and loneliness in older veterans by leveraging the unique experience of our Chelsea Pensioners and our delivery partners.

In support of the Head of Veterans Outreach they will be required to assist in the planning and delivery of activities and events designed to attract an older cohort of veterans.  This will include establishing and maintaining relationships with local delivery partners (DPs), helping in the recruitment and oversight of a network of volunteers in the 8 x counties and with these DPs and volunteers identify and locate veterans who might benefit from our programme.

The ideal candidate will be selfless, service orientated, full of enthusiasm and initiative, and equipped with the people skills that will make you a natural networker and a hit with our older veteran community. Experience of the Armed Forces community and/or working with older people will be highly advantageous and you will be expected to be familiar with the region in which you will be working. Experience of managing volunteers is also desirable. You will thrive on a high degree of autonomy and making a positive impact on the veterans we support.

The post holder will be expected to travel extensively around the South East region, including overnight stays. A clean, full driving licence is essential. The successful candidate will require Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) clearance.

If you think you have the requisite skills and experience then we are keen to hear from you.

This is a full time role working an average of 41 hours per week.  The salary range for this post is £33,000 - £38,000.

If you're enthusiastic, motivated, and eager to make a difference while working in a historic and rewarding environment, then we invite you to join our team.

Do you want to be part of this expansion and make a difference by helping the Royal Hospital Chelsea support tens of thousands of older veterans from the three Armed Forces Services by reducing social isolation and loneliness?

You will be digitally savvy, passionate about connecting people, focused on delivering a quality service, with excellent communication skills and initiative.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt. 

Everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.

The charity provides specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

Join the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families, providing tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.

The team are here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life. 

It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that this vital support can be provided. 

The Association is driven by ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke. This means they are determined to create an equitable and inclusive workplace that benefits from the difference, and thrives on the diversity, of its people. Guided by an approach to solving inequity in stroke, the organisation is prioritising listening to, and learning from, lived experience across the charity.

The organisation is working to improve the representation of this lived experience at all levels within the Association and are eager to recruit applicants from a variety of communities and backgrounds. Particularly from people affected by stroke, people of colour, members of LGBT+ communities, and disabled people because these identities and experiences are underrepresented and would add enormous value to how the charity works.

The charity has a variety of staff network groups and is committed to continuously improving its diversity and inclusion efforts. If you have questions, or access needs, we’re happy to discuss any support and adjustments we can make throughout the recruitment process so that you’re able to contribute your best in a way that meets your needs.
