A reminder of the help available from the Forces Employment Charity

The Forces Employment Charity exists to provide life-long, life-changing support, job opportunities, and training to Service leavers, veterans, reservists and their families, irrespective of circumstances, rank, length of service, or reason for leaving.

Their Families Programme supports spouses and partners of still-serving personnel and veterans, including divorced, separated, and bereaved, on their journey into employment; regardless of whether you are in the UK or overseas. They understand Service life and transition can impact the whole family, so they also offer mentoring and career guidance to military children and young people aged 16-24.

Their dedicated Families Employment Advisors are military spouses or partners themselves. They understand the challenges and barriers you may be facing including frequent moves, living in relative isolation, childcare, employer reluctance to hire military spouses, getting back onto the employment ladder, having a lack of confidence and returning suddenly to civilian life. They understand the support you require and are here to help you succeed. Register for this free service!
