About Us:

Combat Stress was established in 1919. We are the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over 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.

About the role:

You will be involved in every part of our wide range of events from identifying and exploring new fundraising events and current trends, to helping with the conception, delivery and stewardship of our participants journeys on these events.

You'll need to be able to prioritise a sometimes demanding and shifting workload, work well under pressure and have excellent written and communication skills and exceptional attention to detail especially when data processing.

This role is subject to a DBS check.

As a healthcare environment, and for the health and wellbeing of our staff, veterans and visitors, we encourage everyone at Combat Stress especially professionals that are veteran facing to take up the offer to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19
