Valuing Forces Families Overseas: Focus Group Invitation
RAND Europe has been commissioned by the Army Families Federation, in partnership with the RAF Families Federation and the Naval Families Federation, to conduct a study exploring the experiences of UK military families throughout the overseas postings cycle. As part of this research, RAND Europe is holding focus groups with military families who have experience of overseas postings, including preparing for, undertaking, and returning from an assignment overseas. These discussions aim to provide an improved and up-to-date understanding of families lived experiences and the challenges they face at different stages of the overseas postings cycle.
This research will contribute to the Valuing Forces Families Overseas (VFFO) programme, funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, which seeks to uncover hidden needs within the Armed Forces community and identify where additional support may be most needed.
If you:
- Are an ex-serving member of the Regular or Reserve UK Armed Forces
- Are a partner of a serving or ex-serving member of the Regular or Reserve UK Armed Forces,
- Considered going on an overseas posting (even if you ended up not going), or
- Went on an accompanied posting overseas, or
- Were separated from your partner due to an unaccompanied posting
Please follow the link below and Expression of Interest to take part in an online focus group to talk about your experience of the overseas postings cycle.

If you have any questions, please contact the RAND Europe research team via email at VFFO_Research@randeurope.org
RAND Europe is a not-for-profit research institute whose aim is to improve policy through evidence-based research and analysis.

Hereford: Job Vacancy - Office Manager/ Finance Assistant
We are a small company based in Hereford (only 10 of us here in the UK, all in Hereford, as part of an international defence company across Europe, USA and Australia) but 75% of workforce are either veterans or spouses of veterans so take our Armed Forces Covenant commitments seriously.
We are seeking a proactive and adaptable Office Manager and Finance Assistant to provide 12 months’ maternity cover for our Hereford-based team. Precision Technic Defence (PTD) Ltd works closely with UK defence and security customers, including the MOD and UK Police, to identify, shape and deliver solutions that address current capability gaps, working with global suppliers and UK-based stakeholders.
This varied role supports the day-to-day running of the business and requires a flexible, can-do approach as part of an integrated project team. It also involves regular communication with Group HQ in Denmark and with suppliers providing business services and utilities.
