A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a part-time Engagement & Communications Manager to join SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, for a one-year period supporting our organisational change programme.

Support is there for people at any stage in their military career; from the youngest recruit to the oldest veteran – no one’s service is ever forgotten. We give hope, help and personal support for as long as it takes to get that person’s life back to where they want it to be.
