A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a full time Marketing and Fundraising Project Support Officer to join the Marketing and Fundraising teams at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

Every year, SSAFA helps more than 73,000 people from the Forces family to get back on their feet; those currently serving, reserves, veterans and their families. Support is there for people at any stage in their military career; from the youngest recruit to the oldest veteran – no one’s service is ever forgotten. We give hope, help and personal support for as long as it takes to get that person’s life back to where they want it to be.
