We are seeking an individual with significant communications experience across multiple platforms, including but not limited to conventional, digital, social media, artificial intelligence, data analytics, branding and marketing. The initial term of office is four years.

The role is voluntary, however reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be paid.

We welcome applications from all candidates who meet the essential criteria for the role as set out in the information pack, irrespective of their background, community, industry or protected characteristics. We operate safer selection practices. This will involve the successful candidate being required to provide references and have a Disclosure and Barring Service check. We reserve the

As the Royal Air Force’s leading welfare charity, we help people put their lives back on track through financial grants to alleviate hardship; mental health support including our Listening and Counselling Service and Telephone Friendship Groups; and practical assistance such as mobility equipment to improve quality of life. Our assistance enables all members of the RAF Family to live safely and independently. We are also honoured to maintain and preserve both the RAF Memorial and RAF Bomber Command Memorial in London, on behalf of the nation. In 2023 we spent £18.9m delivering our welfare services, helping over 42,000 serving and former RAF personnel and their families during their time of need.
