Our Career Academy
Supporting you into work
Our Career Academy provides you with the tools to develop, grow and gain in confidence no matter what your requirements are. We work in collaboration with progressive partners invested in supporting military spouses. We provide tailored coaching, mentoring, training and job preparation. The Academy is free to use, and bespoke to you.
Since its launch in 2017, we have established 15 coaching programmes, ran two week long digital marketing courses in conjunction with Mike Alpha, attended nationwide roadshows and organised 'Getting back to the workplace' workshops.
“The coaching programme helped me visualise what I really wanted professionally. It was the catalyst I needed to make a change.”

The Liquid Workforce
A team of agile, flexible working military spouses
Joining the liquid workforce provides an opportunity for home-based flexible working in prestigious roles for blue-chip companies. Not only does this mean a balance of the military lifestyle challenges, but the opportunity to add real value to businesses that recognise the intrinsic benefits employing military spouses bring.
Since the start of 2019, the Liquid Workforce has provided over 10,000 hours of remote, paid work to members of the military spouse community - this equates to over £70,000 going into military homes. 90% of these members of our Liquid Workforce have been unemployed for 5 years or more.
“This experience has been more than helpful, it has been life changing.”

RFS was...a platform for spouses who understood my struggles and my challenges. It felt like I came to them in pieces, deflated and very defeated and they (RFS) pieced me back together.

Rusila Halofaki
RFS are offering an amazing, unique opportunity in the Liquid Workforce within the recruitment world...so many doors can be opened.

Kate Legg
Don't give up, amazing and flexible companies do exist and RFS are 100% the best people to help you find them.

RFS was and is the only platform that exists that really understands the struggles and plight of every Armed Forces spouse.

The competency amongst the military spouse community is unbelievably good and the fact all our candidates were happy with remote working made this ideal for us as a small business.

Michael Coates, COMBAT pest control
I found the course to be an excellent refresher of the skills I used in my previous roles, and also a confidence booster to me, proving that I can do it again
