Launched in 2011, Lifeworks was inspired by the experience of a veteran who faced the uncertainty of leaving the Armed Forces and navigating civilian employment after their career was cut short. Now an award-winning initiative from Royal British Veterans Enterprise – backed by over 100 years of supporting veterans and their families – Lifeworks is built by people who understand the transition and are committed to helping others move forward with confidence and purpose.
The teams forward assist element ensures they provide long-term support to help those in need reach their career goals, attain further training or gain work experience.

Families of those currently serving also face their own employment challenges. Frequent moves, periods of separation and the need for flexibility can make it difficult to build a stable or fulfilling career. Through Lifeworks, we support spouses and family members with tailored advice, coaching and practical employability support – helping them build confidence, overcome barriers and move forward into roles that fit their lives and ambitions.
