About us

At Help for Heroes, we believe those who serve our country deserve support to live well after service.

You’ll have expertise in creating, leading and managing programmes of high-quality support which delivers impact. You’ll nurture a culture of excellence, innovation and continuous improvement – and you’ll have all the skills to implement creative programmes which inspire funders and deliver in the most efficient and effective way for those we support. You’ll be a skilled communicator, adept at building collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders and advocating for the needs of our veterans and their loved ones.

About the role

We are seeking a dynamic leader to provide strategic and operational leadership for our charity, ensuring high standards of governance and, where appropriate, clinical and care excellence. The role involves increasing the impact and reach of our services through co-creation and development of our services and building strategic partnerships and relationships. As a key member of the Executive Team, you will act as an advocate on behalf of our beneficiaries; internally shaping the charity’s work, and externally working to influence others and increase our visibility.

About James’ Place 

James’ Place Charity was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and suicidal thoughts, but didn’t find it.   

James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. James’ Place offers men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment. Men who walk through the door at James’ Place will be in a space where they feel valued and respected. 

The first James’ Place opened in June 2018 in Liverpool, the first of its kind in the UK, and has to date supported more than 2,300 men experiencing suicidal crisis through our innovative and safe therapeutic intervention. We provide a calm and peaceful environment both inside the centre and in our landscaped garden, accessible to men who visit us as well as their friends and families.

In 2022 we opened a new centre in London and in early in 2023 we launched an appeal to raise over £10m to fund three more centres across the country. Our third centre opened in Newcastle at the beginning of 2024, and we are currently raising funds to open a James’ Place in Brimingham. 

The Fundraising and Communications team 

We are a small team with big ambitions. The team comprises a Head of Fundraising and Communications, two Fundraising Managers, a Senior Communications Manager and a Senior Outreach Officer. We are recruiting two roles to the team: a Fundraising Executive and a Fundraising and Communications Assistant.

Fundraising Executive

We are looking to recruit a Fundraising Executive to support our fundraising and communications activities and be part of our small and dedicated team. This role is a new post in the team, so it is a great time to join the charity as we invest in our fundraising and communications team to maximise our income and realise our ambitions. 

About You

Having previously worked in the charity sector, you will be passionate about our cause and committed to supporting us in raising the money required to meet our ambitions.

With an eye for detail, strong analytical and organisational skills, you will be able to undertake research on prospective corporate, major, trust and public donors and produce high quality written reports to support funding bids.
