A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a full time Senior Impact and Evaluation Officer to join the Strategy team at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, supports the person behind the uniform; any time they need us, in any way they need us, for as long as they need us.

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.

We are open to discussing the possibility of occasionally working from home. Please wait until the job offer stage before asking us about flexibility, and we will explore what’s possible for the role.
