Recruit for Spouses

Recruit for Spouses A social enterprise dedicated to finding work for military spouses. Recruit For Spouses is an online resource connecting forces spouses with employers.

Employment opportunities for the driving force behind the forces

Frequent postings, deployments, childcare issues and the demands of service life all combine to contribute to the ongoing struggle many military spouses face to find work. The company, which was established by the wife of a serving soldier, for wives and partners of the forces offers businesses the opportunity to employ workers a

t all skill levels, from shop floor to boardroom, for both local regional jobs to working from home. Recruit For Spouses puts these highly capable women and men in touch with employers willing to seize the initiative and tap into this skilled and diverse workforce while supporting the Armed Forces. Service spouses are a vast untapped workforce, qualified and willing to work from home, and Recruit For Spouses offers employers an effective way to access their many talents. Spouses looking for work can easily register with the site in order to be added to an online skills database just waiting to be accessed by potential employers. If businesses are willing to embrace the concept of the service offered by Recruit for Spouses, the barrier to employing military wives and husbands - the transient and unpredictable lifestyle they lead - can be easily bypassed by using a virtual recruitment and working environment.

Maria came to RFS as a military spouse from the Foreign and Commonwealth community. She had moved from Belize to the UK and needed support with translating her background to UK equivalents.

The RFS Foreign & Commonwealth programme is designed for exactly this; handling stressful paperwork and long administrative processes, as well as being a friendly and reassuring face throughout a challenging transition period.

"I finally felt seen. RFS handled the entire ECCTIS process for me, completing the forms, uploading the right documents, and handling everything for me.

I was kept updated at every step so I never felt lost. When my Statement of Comparability arrived, employers understood my background. I now work part-time as a HR administrator with the NHS. More than paperwork, RFS gave me the confidence that someone was truly in my corner."

Everything we do, is for the community. Because WE are the military community ourselves.

We couldn't be more proud of the incredible success Maria has achieved.

100% of people who have completed the RFS Coaching and Mentoring programme say it has helped their employability, and 35% would describe it as genuinely life changing.

We don't take that amazing feedback lightly, and it's all down to the incredible generosity of our volunteer coaches and mentors who make the programme what it is.

Since we launched the programme in 2017, these volunteers have helped over 2,300 beneficiaries across the military community.

Volunteers play a crucial role in supporting the RFS mission, and we are so grateful for their time.

This National Volunteers Week, we thank each and every volunteer who has contributed. You make a huge difference.
