The Not Forgotten transforms the lives of injured, ill and isolated veterans and serving personnel and their families by bringing people together, restoring confidence, and fostering camaraderie and support.

Our values of empathy, excellence, comradeship and teamwork run through everything we do. We provide a caring and genuinely personal service, our small team getting to know our beneficiaries personally, developing real relationships and listening to their needs and worries and sharing the ups and downs of their lives. We work with every individual to help them with their own route to recovery and know that many need to attend multiple events on that journey.

We collaborate closely with other military charities and organisations, aiming to be the trusted partner of choice in providing entertainment and recreation opportunities for veterans and injured serving personnel. We strive to be at the forefront of the military charity sector remaining current and relevant whilst retaining the character that makes us special.

We’re not just looking for admin experience—we’re looking for someone who cares. For 105 years, The Not Forgotten has been supporting veterans and service personnel suffering from injury and illness by providing social, respite and challenge opportunities and a unique series of prestige Royal events. Join The Not Forgotten as our Office Administrator.
