Royal Star & Garter

Individual Giving Officers 

Care with courage

For more than a century, Royal Star & Garter has stood alongside veterans and their loved ones, providing exceptional care for those living with disability, dementia and complex health needs. 

 

The 2025 merger with Care For Veterans brings together two highly respected organisations with shared values and a common ambition: to deliver even greater care, expertise and impact for the Armed Forces community.

​

What makes Royal Star & Garter different is its unwavering commitment to treating every veteran with dignity, compassion and respect. Its values are not simply words on a page—they underpin every interaction, every decision and every aspect of care. As the needs of the Armed Forces community continue to evolve, so too does the charity, investing in new services, new ways of reaching veterans and a long-term vision that will support generations to come.

​

This is a genuinely exciting time to join the organisation. They are investing in the future of supporter engagement, with ambitious plans to grow fundraising, reach new audiences and build lasting relationships with supporters. For an experienced fundraising leader, there is a real opportunity to help shape the next chapter of one of the UK's most respected veterans' charities.

​​

Role Overview

This is an exciting opportunity to join Royal Star & Garter at a pivotal moment in its development, helping to grow community fundraising and engagement across its regions.

​

As a Community Fundraiser, you'll build meaningful relationships with local communities, businesses, groups and volunteers, delivering fundraising activity that supports veterans and their families.

​

The role combines relationship building with hands-on fundraising delivery—from challenge events and community activities to local partnerships and volunteering opportunities.

​

Success will come from growing income, creating new connections and finding creative ways to bring people closer to the charity's work.

​

This is a role for someone who enjoys working independently, spotting opportunities and getting stuck in. You'll have the chance to make a visible difference, helping Royal Star & Garter reach more people and grow its impact.

​

We are searching for two roles: Someone who would cover the Worthing/Surbiton areas and then the High Wycombe/Solihull areas.

Who are we searching for?

We're looking for a community-focused fundraiser who combines creativity, initiative and genuine purpose.

​

You'll have experience delivering fundraising events, building partnerships or engaging local communities. You'll be confident developing relationships, inspiring supporters and turning opportunities into action.

​

Just as importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys getting stuck in. Whether that's organising an event, recruiting volunteers, presenting to a community group or building a new partnership, you'll be happy to take ownership and make things happen.

​

We're particularly interested in speaking with candidates who are highly self-motivated, enjoy working autonomously and can bring fresh ideas to community fundraising. Experience of working with Armed Forces groups or an understanding of the veteran community would be welcomed, but isn't essential.

​

We are searching for two roles: Someone who would cover the Worthing/Surbiton areas and then the High Wycombe/Solihull areas. There would be travel beyond those too as they expand their services further but we don't know the footprint of that just yet. Essentially we need flexible candidates who have access to a car and are willing to travel to build support. All travel will be reimbursed. 

​

If you're excited by the opportunity to build community support, grow fundraising income and make a meaningful difference to veterans and their families, we'd love to hear from you.
