Be part of a team that changes and saves lives. Design and deliver creative events that support military families caring for injured loved ones.

This is a demanding but deeply rewarding role that combines service delivery, engagement, and emotional resilience. As Events & Engagement Officer, you will work closely with our Operational Support Team to design and deliver a varied programme of online and in-person events.
