Who We Help

About Lifeworks

Lifeworks is a UK-wide employability programme run by RBVE, offering 12 months of support to veterans from any of the 3-armed forces background. At its heart is face-to-face, coaching and skills training, delivered via a four-day residential course and forward assist follow up programme.  

Our expert-led courses take place at locations across the UK, including garrisons, allowing us to provide targeted support where it’s needed most.

Forward Assist

Through our Forward Assist service, we provide continued, long-term support helping participants progress towards their career goals, gain further training or secure valuable work experience.

Support for Veterans

Lifeworks delivers life-changing support, specifically addressing skills gaps and boosting confidence within the veteran community. The Lifeworks team is on hand to encourage the self-development of the course attendees, whether the desired outcome is full-time employment or assisting them in finding work experience or further training in their desired career pathway.

Support for Families

Family members of serving Armed Forces personnel are also eligible for support through the Lifeworks programme. We understand that military families often face unique challenges when seeking employment and Lifeworks is here to help with personalised guidance, practical advice and specialist courses designed to support their career ambitions.

Veteran Spouses

We recognise that life alongside military service can bring unique challenges from frequent moves to career interruptions and these can continue long after your partner has left the Armed Forces.

Lifeworks provides tailored guidance, practical advice and specialist employability support designed specifically for veteran spouses. Whether you’re returning to work, changing careers or exploring new opportunities, we’ll help you build confidence, identify your strengths and take the next steps toward.
