The Royal British Legion’s Outreach Service currently operates in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and provides, responsive, holistic, and person-centred support, to beneficiaries experiencing complex and often isolating challenges in relation to homelessness, mental health, addiction and dependency, domestic abuse, the Criminal Justice system, and children/families at risk.

You will manage a beneficiary caseload and provide ongoing support to beneficiaries to find practical and long-lasting ways to achieve their potential, lead more fulfilling lives and take responsibility for their future.

Led by the Regional Lead Outreach, you will form part of the Outreach team, working in collaboration with wider Regional Outreach team members across the UK as required.

The role is homebased, with the requirement to travel for beneficiary face to face appointments and other organisational meetings and training across South & West Yorkshire (travel costs covered).
