We’re recruiting a Project Manager to lead an exciting new project to deliver training and engagement work to Armed Forces’ personnel and the organisations that support them.

The Armed Forces Development Project is the first of its kind and is a great opportunity to make a real difference to understand how to better support those in the Armed Forces at the risk of, or already experiencing harm from gambling.

The role has initially been funded for just over two years, with the key deliverables being:
* gambling awareness training for Armed Forces personnel and support organisations

You will also need the ability to manage projects/programmes with competing priorities and multiple workstreams to meet KPIs as well as supervise and develop staff.

Experience of working with or alongside Armed Forces personnel or organisations is equally important.
