Our office is based in Downton and that’s where our monthly Executive Team meetings are held. The charity’s board meetings are typically held in London, so applicants are likely to be living in the south of England. We are a remote working charity, and colleagues in the Services Directorate are based in geographies right across the UK – our Service Director will need to be able to travel to stay connected with our work and responsive to external commitments.
About us
At Help for Heroes, we believe those who serve our country deserve support to live well after service. Every day, men and women leave their careers in the Armed Forces because they are wounded, injured or sick; their lives changed forever. We help them, and their families, to recover and live well after service.
And who are we you’re wondering? We are experts and beginners. Generalists and specialists. Ordinary people with an extraordinary passion towards making a positive change to the lives of our veterans (and having fun while doing it).
As One Team we share a philosophy – I.C.A.R.E. It’s the way we walk and talk, the way we interact with others and how we approach everything we do. We are:
Innovative – Collaborative – Authentic – Resourceful – Energetic.
About you
You’re an energetic, highly motivated and compassionate professional focussed on making a definable and durable difference to those in the Armed Forces community who are facing challenges 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 Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the biggest health and social challenge of our time.
There are currently estimated to be 900,000 people in the UK with dementia. Many are undiagnosed and facing the realities of their condition alone.
At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today and providing hope for the future. We’re here for everyone living with dementia.
As a Society, we are made up of people with dementia, carers, trusted experts, campaigners, researchers and clinicians. We are the UK’s largest collective force of people with unparalleled knowledge and over 40 years of experience addressing the biggest challenges facing people living with dementia.

You will be working alongside our existing part-time job-share Press Manager ensuring a smooth consistency in output throughout the week. We offer hybrid working. Ideally you will be based in London but this is flexible.
The Press Manager will promote a positive image of the Party and its key public figures in line with these strategies, as well as helping achieve favourable coverage in the media under the direction of the Head of Communications.
You will thrive in fast-paced environments, be flexible, quick-thinking, decisive, and have good political antennae.
