If you are a collaborative and strategic leader with a passion for embedding continuous improvement and inspiring excellence across teams, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Please see below for more information on what just might be your future role.

About the Role

Reporting to the Service Director, the Head of Continuous Improvement will lead and coordinate initiatives that enhance the quality, efficiency and consistency of our services for beneficiaries. You will design and implement a robust quality assurance framework, ensure operational data integrity, and drive service and process improvements that align with our strategic objectives.

You’ll work closely with the Data & Insights team to ensure data and evidence inform service development, delivery, and decision-making. As part of both the Service Leadership Team and the Charity-wide Leadership Team, you’ll collaborate with colleagues across Operations, Marketing & Communications, and Commercial to champion a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

This is an opportunity to play a leading role in shaping the future of Help for Heroes’ services as we enter an exciting phase of growth and transformation.

About You

You’ll be a resourceful, forward-thinking leader with a strong background in continuous improvement, quality assurance, or service excellence within a complex service delivery environment. You’ll bring both analytical rigour and emotional intelligence — able to use data to drive improvement while engaging and motivating others through change.

We are looking for someone with:

Experience designing and implementing quality assurance or continuous improvement frameworks.
Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with experience using data to identify opportunities for improvement.
Proven leadership skills with the ability to influence and inspire cross-functional teams.
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the confidence to present at all levels.
Experience working with CRM systems or operational data environments in a service delivery context.

You’ll be values-driven, empathetic and energised by the opportunity to make a lasting difference for those who’ve served.

About the Team

Our Service Directorate delivers integrated support and community initiatives across the UK, all aligned with our LiveWell Strategy — focused on ensuring that every member of the Armed Forces Community can live well after service.

You’ll join a team of passionate, purpose-driven professionals committed to improving the quality, consistency and impact of our services for veterans, serving personnel and their families.

The detail:

Hours:35 hours per week
Contract:Permanent

Please note, we have received a large number of strong applications and will therefore be closing the role early at midnight on Sunday 16th November.

First interviews are expected to take place on the 9th and 10th December 2025 via Microsoft Teams and will include interview questions and analytical task. A final stage interview is anticipated to be held in person in Downton week commencing 15th December. Please note that these dates are indicative and may be subject to change.

About Us

Help for Heroes believes those who serve our country deserve support when they’re wounded. Every day, men and women have to leave their career in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or psychological wounds. The Charity helps them, and their families, to recover and get on with their lives. It has already supported more than 26,500 people and won’t stop until every wounded veteran gets the support they deserve.
