RBLI Lifeworks

Lifeworks has been busy supporting over 900 beneficiaries in the last year whilst also developing new ways to support serving families and the tri-service veteran community. We were delighted when our hard work was validated at an awards ceremony last year hosted by the Ex-Forces in Business Awards. We won the ‘Initiative of the Year Award’ for our commitment to supporting veterans through the challenging times of lockdown and the Covid pandemic by rapidly switching our courses and support to an online provision.

We have not stopped there – we are now further developing what we offer through more flexible options, such as bitesize course modules for those in employment who are looking to change career but cannot spare four days to attend one of our residential courses.

To support this, we now have dedicated online employment support via our job HUB, which really helps to enhance our service by linking our beneficiaries directly to Armed-Forces-friendly employers, who recognise the value that service personnel bring to an organisation. Our Lifeworks team are working closely with employers to forge partnerships with the Lifeworks programme. Our job HUB, which can be found on our website, has a wide range of opportunities across all sectors and areas of the country and is being added to each week.

Another new element to Lifeworks is our Rapid Response job service, which specialises in finding people employment within a week. Working closely with the employer, our rapid-response process aims to fast track the candidate through the employment process and get them into paid work and feeling good about themselves. Rapid Response was first designed to support the serving community when faced with short-notice service discharges, postings to other locations, or for spouses requiring employment support.

We have also been working hard to enhance our Lifeworks Families programme, a national offer to support serving families and offer them all the added benefits that Lifeworks now includes. Lifeworks recognises there is a pool of employment talent in this area that should be supported towards employment solutions that will fit around busy service family life.
