There’s never been a more exciting time to join Doncaster Council.
We are passionate about Doncaster - it’s a great place to live, do business and visit.
We have plenty to shout about – Doncaster is the UK’s best-connected location, we have many major developments in the pipeline, a vibrant urban centre with a thriving arts and cultural scene, sport and leisure attractions, wonderful green spaces, and a fascinating heritage. We firmly believe, as do our partners, that Doncaster is the place to be with a bright future and ambitions ahead of it. But don’t just take our word for it – anyone joining the council, can look forward to expanding their knowledge and skills in a dynamic, creative, and nurturing environment while truly making a difference to the communities we serve.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dedicated Veteran Co-ordinator to be the lead and develop the Council’s responsibility and commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant in Doncaster.
Doncaster has the highest proportion of Veterans in South Yorkshire. The successful applicant will represent the Council at local, Regional and National level to ensure that Doncaster Council meets its statutory responsibility to ensure that no member of the Veteran Community is disadvantaged from having served in the Armed Forces.
The Mayor of Doncaster has pledged that ‘
no-one will be left behind' and this includes, backing our Veterans. The post of Veteran Co-ordinator will work both strategically and operationally to ensure that this pledge is met and will act as the key driving force behind Doncaster’s Armed Forces and Veteran’s Steering Group, bringing together a range of partners from across Doncaster to ensure Veterans receive equity in access to all services and support.
The successful candidate will promote the active identification and support for Veterans throughout Doncaster, ensuring strong co-ordination and delivery against the Doncaster Armed Forces and Veteran’s Action Plan and production of Quarterly Newsletters and Annual Reports that are presented externally but also internally to senior leadership and cabinet members.
The successful post holder will need to manage the conflicting priorities of both supporting individuals and representing Doncaster at senior and strategic levels.
You will be an integral part of the wider Stronger Communities Wellbeing Team, being involved in the drive towards an Integrated Locality working model, supporting projects and initiatives within this programme, and working collaboratively across all age, people, and place.
As Veteran Co-ordinator, you will have a significant knowledge and understanding of the Armed Forces Covenant and the issues that impact on our Veteran community.
Further details about the post’s responsibilities and requirements of the role can be found in the attached job role profile and job role summary.
In return for your hard work and dedication, we can offer you the chance to be part of a great team dedicated to ensuring that all people in Doncaster thrive.
