About The Role The Royal British Legion is looking for a confident and politically aware Public Affairs and Campaigns Officer to lead impactful campaigning activity across the South of England. This is an opportunity to work at the heart of issues affecting the Armed Forces community, turning insight into action and ensuring the voices of veterans, serving personnel and their families are heard where it matters most. From influencing local decision-makers to shaping meaningful conversations across communities, you'll play a visible role in driving positive change on behalf of those who have served. Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

Whether you're developing local campaign networks, supporting Armed Forces Covenant activity or helping influence policy conversations at a grassroots level, you'll have the freedom to bring fresh thinking, new ideas and your own approach to engagement. If you're motivated by purpose, skilled at influencing others and want to be part of an organisation committed to making a lasting difference to the Armed Forces community, we'd love to hear from you. You will be contracted to your home address. You will be expected to work both there and on a mobile basis at other locations in the South with occasional travel (incl. for monthly team meetings) beyond this area. Employee benefits include - - 28 day's paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days - Enhanced paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave - Generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10% - Range of flexible working options may be available, depending on your role - Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential counselling, financial and legal advice - Range of courses delivered by learning specialists to support your development goals and objectives - Opportunities to volunteer - Travel loans, Cycle to Work, and more!
