Location: London Bridge (Hybrid 2 days per week)
Contract Type: Permanent
Hours: Full time, 35 hours per week
Salary: £34,452 to £36,863 per annum (Inclusive of London Supplement)
Remembrance is at the heart of The Royal British Legion’s work, and this is an opportunity to play a key role in how it is brought to life for audiences across the UK. As Remembrance Officer, you’ll help shape the content, exhibitions and outreach activity that sit behind our Remembrance programme, finding fresh and engaging ways to connect people with the experiences of the Armed Forces community, past and present. You’ll work across a wide range of projects, from developing content and supporting exhibitions to delivering outreach activity to encourage engagement and participation in Remembrance, both digitally and physically.
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.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys taking an idea and turning it into something people can see, experience and engage with. You’ll be comfortable working with a broad mix of people, from colleagues across The Royal British Legion to external partners, suppliers, organisations and members of the Armed Forces community. You’ll bring strong research, written and verbal communication skills, an eye for detail and the confidence to work with information from different sources, while understanding the importance of getting the story 100% right. Just as importantly, you’ll be someone who can build good relationships, manage competing priorities and keep projects moving, even when there are lots of moving parts.
