The RAF Association has a clear objective: to help sustain a resilient and empowered RAF community, including serving personnel, RAF veterans and their families. Through our sector leading services, we offer friendship to the isolated and lonely, sheltered housing for those who want to remain proudly independent and childcare to serving personnel on RAF stations. We work closely with partner organisations, including other military charities, and have a strong bond with our donors and supporters, giving us the confidence to deliver for our beneficiaries when they need us.
With thousands of members across the UK and further afield, plus hundreds of dedicated employees and volunteers, we have the network and experience needed for a personal one-to-one approach. We work together to make sure no one is ever left behind.
About the team
The Branch and Member Wellbeing Officer (BMWO) is central to achieving the Association’s purpose, ensuring we reach and support those in need, through close links with our membership and branch network. The role focuses on the wellbeing of members, with specific responsibility for the management and development of localised wellbeing engagement and activity within their geographical area of responsibility. The role is also pivotal in contributing to the development, implementation and delivery of the Association’s overarching wellbeing strategy. You’ll be working in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders including our Clubs Development Manager, Branch Governance Officer and regional casework teams, in addition to forging strong links with members, branches, volunteers and third-party organisations.
About You
Whilst a military background would be desirable, it is not an essential requirement. Ideally you will have experience in management, leadership, sales or marketing with strong experience of relationship management techniques. With excellent inter-personal skills and the ability to motivate, persuade and influence others through a period of change, you’ll be accomplished at communicating complex concepts and ideas with clarity and passion. As a confident and influential networker, you will thrive in developing relationships with our members and branches. You will be providing guidance and oversight to ensure effective and consistent working practices to enable the provision of high quality wellbeing services. Along with supporting branches to meet their governance and legislative requirements you will be instrumental in identifying opportunities to increase the sustainability and viability of branches
