The Office for Veterans’ Affairs (OVA), part of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), champions veterans of the UK Armed Forces and their families. The OVA works across the UK government and beyond to deliver for veterans, helping them to make brilliant contributions to society after service.
Some of our veterans may need additional support to thrive after leaving service. Working with devolved governments, local government, the third sector and businesses, we ensure that those who leave the armed forces have their contribution recognised, are given the right tools to transition into civilian society and can access effective ongoing support to achieve the best outcomes in employment, health, housing and other areas of need.
Veterans across the UK will have easier access to essential care and support under the new VALOUR system, as part of the Government’s commitment to renew the nation’s contract with those who have served through the Plan for Change. £50m of funding will establish a new network of VALOUR-recognised support centres across the UK and deploy VALOUR Field Officers to connect local, regional and national services - while harnessing the power of data to shape better services.
This is a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of veterans and their families. You will become part of a team of passionate, committed, innovative and forward-thinking colleagues and be able to draw on a wealth of expertise to drive this ambitious programme forward. You will be able to make your mark by supporting VALOUR to transform the UK’s veteran support landscape.
This is an exciting time to join the OVA and support the VALOUR initiative, which will attract regular Ministerial and media attention.
