About The Royal British Legion
Careers in People and Legal
Across the country, in every city and on every street, the Legion is there to support our Armed Forces community. As the largest charity of our kind, we have 235,000 members supported by our Membership team, 60,000 volunteers supported by our Volunteering team, and a network of partners all helping us give support wherever and whenever it's needed.
At its heart, the Legion is a people organisation. People who want to do the very best for others, while at the same time making the most of the opportunities and experiences we offer them.
It's this mission, this scale, this opportunity and the values we all live by, that makes the Legion such a fulfilling place to thrive.
