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.
