Job Details
Combat Stress was established in 1919. We are the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For almost a century, we’ve helped former servicemen and women deal with trauma-related mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.
Today we provide UK-wide support to veterans from every service and every conflict, on the phone and online, in the community and at our treatment centres. We’re on a mission to raise awareness that invisible injuries can be just as hard to cope with as physical ones. So, when a veteran is having a tough time, we’re there to help tackle the past and to take on the future.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone who wants to stand out and make a difference. The main aim of the role is to contribute to the charity’s income generation and stewardship of donors by supporting the organisation’s fundraising events. There are a number of annual events which include the Supporter Dinner, Carol Service and Clay Shoot. The advent of the charity’s centenary in 2019 offers exciting opportunities with a programme of events planned for the year.
The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills, both written and oral, and able to communicate with a wide range of people. They will also be highly organised and be able to work to tight deadlines.

Company
Combat Stress is a registered charity in the United Kingdom offering therapeutic and clinical community and residential treatment to former members of the British Armed Forces who are suffering from a range of mental health conditions; including post traumatic stress disorder.
Our aim is to treat veterans’ symptoms and improve their quality of life. We want to help veterans tackle their past and take on the future.
Veterans with complex mental health conditions need a specialist team made up of different mental health professionals to help them and we provide this. Our clinicians work closely with each other and the veteran to develop a treatment plan that best suits their needs.
We directly employ our own clinical staff to provide our highly specialised treatment to UK veterans at our centres in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Our treatment is available online, in the community, through outpatient appointments and also on a residential basis when required.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver specialist treatment for veterans with complex mental health needs, whilst supporting their families and network, to help them tackle the past and take on their future.
Our vision is for all former servicemen and women with complex mental health problems to live full and meaningful lives.
Our Values
Together: We are united in purpose, collaborative in action.
Focused: We're clear about what we will and won't do to deliver the best outcomes.
Bold: We'll do and say what we must to achieve our organisation's vision.
Personal: We respect diversity and appreciate everyone's individual needs and talents.
