About Us
The RAF (Royal Air Force) 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
Our team of Casual Field Trainers are instrumental in delivering our sector leading virtual and Face to Face courses, currently primarily the Finding it Tough and Navigating Dementia courses, although there are opportunities to become involved in the delivery of other training.
Finding it Tough
We recognise that being part of the RAF community sometimes places a strain on everyday life and we all need a little help from time to time. Our three ‘Finding it Tough’ mental health wellbeing courses are specially tailored for each audience (veterans, families and others supporting the RAF community). We welcome people who want to support their friends, family members and colleagues to spot any signs that they may be struggling, as well as gaining some tips for managing their own wellbeing and resilience.
Navigating Dementia
Some members of the RAF community have caring responsibilities for someone living with dementia. Often, due to RAF service, they may be in the position of supporting and caring for someone at a distance. The Navigating Dementia course is designed specifically to meet the needs of those within the RAF community supporting a person with dementia.

Our courses are delivered both online and Face to Face around RAF stations, and other locations, across the UK, which may occasionally involve overnight stays, it is therefore vital that you are able to travel as part of the role. (A UK driving licence is an essential requirement for this role)
