Based at our Head Office, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT22 0BX

Status: Permanent
Salary: Up to £85,000 per annum (dependent on experience) plus 5% Outer London Fringe Allowance (capped at £2,056 per annum)
Hours: Full time, 37.5 hours per week, Monday – Friday 09:00 – 16:30. Hybrid working available – 2 days in office, 3 days at home.

About us:

Combat Stress is the UK’s leading mental health charity for veterans. Every year thousands of former servicemen and service women turn to us struggling with their mental health as result of military trauma. Our specialist treatment not only changes lives but saves them too.

We complement the services provided by the NHS and other military charities by providing treatment and support for those veterans who have some of the most complex trauma-related mental health issues resulting from military service. Our specialist teams aim to help as many veterans as possible to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We helped 12,500 veterans last year but that’s just a fraction of the number who need expert support to recover from their experiences and live happy and productive lives.

About the role:

With a turnover of £13m, we are a national charity with 220 staff working across the UK. Specifically, this role will have responsibility for c.120 staff, a budget of c.£8m and will lead to the delivery of all our veteran-facing services and support, maximising our reach, responsiveness and effectiveness. We require someone who can work in a multi-disciplinary environment and in geographically dispersed locations.

Although we are focused on veterans’ mental health and wellbeing, the successful candidate does not necessarily have to come from a military background. However, we are looking for substantial experience within a service delivery organisation. Director level leadership, quality and focus on the beneficiaries of the charity and the ability to engage and influence across our varied landscape of partners is key, as is a collaborative approach. This role offers a great opportunity to make a substantial contribution to shaping the future of Combat Stress and we are looking for tenacious and ambitious individuals who want to make a mark and transform veterans’ lives.

This role will be subject to a DBS check.

What we offer:

You will work within a much loved charity that is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our veterans, that has a fantastic cause and a committed follower base.

• 30 days paid holiday plus bank holidays and after 10 years continuous service, this will increase to 33 days paid holiday plus bank holidays.
• Competitive stakeholder pension scheme – contributions matched up to 11% of salary
• Discount shopping vouchers
• Cycle to work scheme
• Access to the Employee Assistance Programme
• Flexible working
• Access to Blue Light Card scheme
• Death in Service Scheme

Interview date: Week commencing 10 February 2025
