Care for Veterans (formerly The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home) provides care and rehabilitation to physically disabled ex-Servicemen and women from its facility in Worthing. We provide first-class and award-winning care to those who have served our country and specialise in caring for those with acquired brain injury and neurological conditions.

You will have written bids for trusts or statutory bodies previously and be able to demonstrate some real success that you can apply in this role. You will also be sympathetic to the aims of caring for ex-Servicemen and women.
