***THIS JOB VACANCY HAS NOW CLOSED***
RMA – The Royal Marines Charity was founded in 1946. Our mission – offering lifelong support to the Corps Family – once a Marine, always a Marine. The Charity has been growing successfully in its current form following the merger of the Royal Marines Association and Royal Marines Charity in 2019 and is seeking to maintain this growth from a very strong position.
We do this by:
- offering morale-enhancing amenities and welfare support to serving Royal Marines and their families;
- providing education and employment support to those being discharged from the Royal Marines prematurely;
- proactively supporting the health and well-being of the whole Corps Family and responding to their needs.
This is all done whilst enabling our members to retain the sense of comradeship that they enjoy as Royal Marines through our Association.
All this is enabled by our strong fundraising and communications capabilities.
