Office Support Jobs
Location: Remote with regular travel
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.
