Preparing for redundancy: a step-by-step guide
Preparing for redundancy:
a step-by-step guide
s you will no doubt be aware, in
September 2011 the Ministry of
Defence informed just under 2,000
members of the Army and Royal Air Force
that they were to be made redundant. Later
that same month, 1,000 Royal Navy
personnel were added to this figure,
completing the first tranche of the Armed
Forces Redundancy Programme. The second
tranche was announced early in 2012, while,
in June last year, another 4,480 Army
personnel (the third tranche) were to be
made redundant in the next round of cuts.
The fourth and final set of redundancies was
announced by the Defence Secretary this
January and is to consist of a maximum of
1,505 personnel. The MoD has ensured that
there is a robust resettlement process and a
generous tax‐free payment in place for all
those who are selected for redundancy, to
help make their transition to civilian life as
smooth as possible. The redundancy
programme is part of the government’s plan
to cut the number of regulars from 102,000
to 82,000 by 2018.
While many Service men and women
have applied to be made redundant, many
others have not, and therefore will be forced
A
4
to accommodate an unplanned return to the
civilian workforce. This article focuses on
those Service personnel who did not choose
to be made redundant, and how they can
best use their 12 months’ notice to plan for
the future.
Step 1: Look at what’s on offer
All Service personnel made involuntarily
redundant will receive a leavers’ pack giving
specific details about their individual
resettlement packages. These packs include:
●
a three‐day transition workshop
●
access to a career consultant and job‐
finding service
●
time to retrain and information about
grants
●
access to a wide range of accredited
vocational training courses and
workshops.
Step 2: Think positive
Forces personnel are used to challenges and
making the best of situations, and these
aptitudes will give you a clear advantage.
Make full use of your skills and apply a
positive mindset. Even though the job
market may seem squeezed, a return to
www.questonline.co.uk / Resettlement Guide 2015
civilian life is abundant with opportunities.
In the Forces, you will have acquired hugely
beneficial transferable skills such as:
●
adaptability
●
reliability
●
composure under pressure
●
team‐working
●
decision‐making and using initiative
●
thinking on your feet.
Make a note of these skills (to remind
yourself as well as others) and add to it other
more specific trade skills that you have,
along with your experience of, for example,
working in a conflict zone or knowledge of
different cultures.
CALCULATING THE BENEFITS
•
The MoD has stated that all those selected
for redundancy will get a full resettlement
package, regardless of their length of service.
• It has also added an Armed Forces
Redundancy Calculator (AFRC) to its website
to help you forecast your redundancy and
pension benefits.

Preparing for redundancy: a step-by-step guide
Step 3: Revisit your CV
Whether you are planning to go straight
into a job or see redundancy as an
opportunity to retrain, you will need to
update your CV.
●
Look at your last CV (if you have one)
and give it a really good prune.
●
Be brief: give key points; use bullet lists
and timelines; and ensure you include
the transferable skills discussed in Step
2. Then invite readers to contact you for
more detailed information. This will
give you an opportunity to engage in a
persuasive dialogue.
●
Add the names and contact details of
two or three referees, or add a couple of
testimonials right at the bottom of your
CV. Try to make these varied: one from
the Forces, one from another facet of
your life (perhaps you organise regular
social events or are a long‐standing
member of a club). The more varied
they are, the more ‘rounded’ you will
appear.
●
Take advantage of the electronic age
and create your CV as a two‐page
(maximum) PDF or Word file. This will
allow you to send out literally hundreds
of copies without having to leave your
desk or pay for postage. It will also
make it easier to see who you’ve
targeted for work and who’s responded.
Step 4: Freshen up your
interview technique
Good appearance, a confident handshake,
making eye contact, careful listening and
confident talking will all stand you in good
stead on the day. But there’s so much more
to an interview … You should prepare,
prepare, prepare, and as a Forces person
that will come naturally to you. Do every bit
of research and homework possible on the
organisation/college/business that has
invited you to interview. Search the
internet for information, or even ring up
the organisation beforehand and ask if they
have a brochure or pack giving details and
history of the business. Let your
interviewer(s) know you have done this
research by adding relevant detail to your
answers. (And remember to turn off your
mobile phone before the interview starts!)
EDIT YOUR INTERVIEW TECHNIQUE
6
In an interview, learn how to say just enough.
• Stick to the point of the question, giving
relevant detail about yourself/your experience.
• Ask for clarification if a question doesn’t seem
clear to you. (It’s a good technique to show you
are thorough.)
• Ensure you have a question or two of your own
to ask the interviewers about the
job/organisation/course. This registers your
own interest and research.
Step 5: Look at your short-term
options
Consider what’s available to you now.
●
Research employment agencies in your
area. What kinds of work do they offer?
Does it interest you? Make contact, and
ask if they will put you on their books
(your updated CV will be useful here).
Temping is a great way to build in
enough space to work on your long‐
term plans.
●
Try your hand at some freelance work.
Do you have any skills that others might
find useful? Could you, say, do a spot of
garden maintenance? Could you offer
your skills and knowledge in a
consultancy context? Do be aware,
though, that you may need to undergo a
Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check
depending what you choose to do. Visit
www.gov.uk to see which jobs require
this.
●
Become a volunteer. Choose an
area/cause that interests you, and see if
your help is needed there. It won’t earn
you money in the short term, but some
organisations require both voluntary
and paid staff. Being on the ‘inside’ is
the best position.
Step 6: Plan for the long term
Think about what you really want to do and
balance that against priorities in your life.
●
Are you in a position to retrain? If so,
get as much detail as possible about
relevant courses. You could study part‐
time at a local college while earning
part‐time; you could take on a home
study course while working full‐time; or
you could study full‐time.
●
Is there a specific company you’d like to
work for, or a specific area of work you’d
like to be involved in? Start to make
contacts now. Become known so that if
a vacancy arises you’re in the
foreground.
●
Do you want to build your own business
using very specific or unique skills that
you acquired in the Forces, e.g. a
freelance trainer in, say, motivation in
the workplace (your ‘back story’ will be
useful here); a mechanic on specific
forms of transport; or something
completely different and unrelated to
your past experience? Patience will be
required, along with some knowledge of
GET PAID TO LEARN
Did you know, you can use your enhanced learning
credit (ELC) for up to ten years after leaving the
Forces to take courses at level 3 and above? This
means that you will receive funding provided your
training is offered by an approved/accredited
provider. For further details and eligibility
requirements, see our sister publication
Courses4Forces (www.courses4forces.co.uk).
www.questonline.co.uk / Resettlement Guide 2015
administrative procedures such as
orderly paperwork and accounting. Take
advantage of, say, part‐time study,
combined with part‐time earning, as
you build a business plan for your
future.
Step 7: Network, network,
network!
These days, networking couldn’t be easier.
You will already have begun the process by
engaging with Step 5. And Step 6 will help
you to be even more specific.
●
Get yourself some business cards. An
online printing company will take you
through the process step by step, and it
doesn’t cost a fortune. Include just the
essential details: name, phone number,
email address. That way, your cards can
work hard for you on every occasion and
be appropriate to hand out to anyone.
●
See every contact as an opportunity.
Temping may turn into long‐term work;
freelancing may develop into a business;
volunteering could turn into a paid job;
the person running your study course
may spot your potential and refer you to
their contact list.
●
Join business networking groups in your
area. These will be listed in local
directories online. Rehearse your
‘elevator pitch’ (a brief speech that you
can deliver in roughly 60 seconds giving
the salient points of your ‘back story’).
Make it quirky and memorable, and
invite questions. Get noticed for being
yourself. Get people talking to you and
about you.
●
Sign up for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter
and any other social media. Your
message (that you are skilled in ‘X’
areas, that you are a freelance ‘X’, that
you are available to take on work, etc.)
will spread quickly and easily the more
you ‘share’ and link in with others. You
never know who might be looking.
●
Get in touch with old contacts, too.
Their circumstances may have changed,
and they may know something you
don’t.
Step 8: Keep calm and stay
focused
However daunting your new challenges may
feel, however unsettling things are for your
family, if you keep a cool head and start
planning now, it will pay enormous
dividends. Information sharing is essential.
Stay in touch with others in the Forces who
were made redundant with you. They, more
than anyone, will understand your
circumstances and ‘journey’. Most
important, remember that you have
invaluable skills and experience that are
useful in every walk of life. If you stay calm,
focused, confident and positive, others will
notice you.

Step 1: Plan, research and seek
advice
8
Ensure that you use your Standard Learning
Credit (SLC) and the Enhanced Learning
Credit (ELC) to build skills well in advance.
Then research your career opportunities and
entry requirements online using the
computers provided in resource rooms within
the Career Transition Partnership’s (CTP)
Regional Resettlement Centres (RRCs) and/or
your local library. Talk to your Career or
Employment Consultant about what’s
available in your area. The CTP runs three‐day
(or shorter) workshops at its RRCs. The Career
Transition Workshop (CTW), for example,
leads you through civilian employment and
teaches all‐important skills such as writing a
CV, applying for jobs, and interview
techniques. The CTP also offers one‐to‐one
career counselling.

Ideally (using SLC and ELC), undertake any
major learning that leads to employment
before your resettlement time starts. Then use
your last few weeks to take courses or finish
qualifications that will attract civilian
employers. You should also consider courses
that help to update your skills and aptitudes,
or take training that results in qualifications
for a specific job. Many skills, such as
computing and driving, are now an everyday
part of working life. If you are thinking about
becoming self‐employed, there are courses
and loans to help you do this, too.
•
•
Step 4: Do a self-audit
●
●
Look at the qualifications, skills and
experience you already have and those
required for any course you might
consider. Can you build on them to
overcome any skills gaps?
You may already have a level of learning
and/or experience that will count towards
a qualification. But do you need a pre‐
course course? Do employers in the area in
which you wish to resettle value your

Training at the CTP’s Resettlement Training
Centre, Aldershot, and at some RRCs: the CTP
offers two types of training – contract-funded
courses, provided by the MoD, and noncontract-funded courses. Contract-funded
courses effectively cost 5% of your IRTC grant
for each day you attend, so this will ‘buy’ you 20
days. (You could also attend other contractfunded courses on a standby basis.) The cost of
non-contract-funded training is paid from grants
available to you. This can be taken any time in
the last two years before discharge, but is
usually taken in the final nine months. All CTP
services (including training) are available for two
years after discharge (training on a standby
basis).
Civilian training attachment: this is formal
training at a civilian college, company or training
establishment. It is eligible for IRTC funding and
usually takes place in the last nine months of
service.
Civilian work attachment: this is attachment to
a company for on-the-job training and work
experience, and can take place any time in the
last two years of service. It is not eligible for IRTC
funding, but travel and subsistence may be
payable.
Individual resettlement preparation: this time
can be used for your own resettlement activities,
although it isn’t IRTC funded. It can be taken any
time in the last two years of service and GRT
travel warrants will be given.
Maximise your resettlement training
chosen qualification? Are there other
qualifications that will equip you for the
same job? Check this out before you
commit.
Consider all the details of the course.
Does the method of delivery – classes,
private study, distance or supported open
learning, the internet – suit your learning
style? How much time do you have
available for study? What access do you
have to the internet or other learning
tools? If you are staying in

CHECKLIST: CHOOSING YOUR
TRAINING PROVIDER
•
Does the training provider have a good
reputation? Does your consultant know of
them? What’s the opinion of former students?
Do any relevant institutes and associations
have advice and information?
Are formal qualifications or membership to
institutions available from the provider, and
are these valued? Who accredits these
qualifications?
Is there an introductory seminar? What can
you find out about the quality of instruction?
What are the class sizes? What’s the quality of
the equipment and facilities?
How long is the course? How much study is
class-based and how much is self-study? Is
there any pre-course self-study?

•
accommodation while attending this
course, is there evening access to study
rooms? Is there a requirement for out‐of‐
hours work? Is this training or
qualification really going to help you
become employed in the sector and at the
level you want? How do you get the
course signed off by your resettlement
officer? What paperwork is required?
Researching and considering the answers to
these questions will help you to make the
most of the resettlement training
opportunities available to you. Additionally,
you can seek advice through the CTP, so do
contact your Career Consultant or local
Regional Employment and Training Manager
(RETM; RETMs are located at RRCs). These
people work closely with employers and
training providers in your region and will
know exactly what’s available. The Course
Booking & Information Centre (CBIC) can
give general advice on course content, along
with making bookings and taking payments.
Further information and contact details can
be found at www.ctp.org.uk .
Step 5: Think about costs
You may need to invest your own money in
these courses or qualifications, so when
considering the cost it may be helpful to
remember that this investment isn’t just about
the course – it’s about your future in a civilian
environment. Be aware that exam or
certification fees may be additional to course
fees, so if you are budgeting you will need to
take account of this. Other financial
implications include the following.
●
Accommodation: is the cost of this
included in the course?
●
Location: what are the travelling costs?
●
Study materials: will you need to buy
course materials or books?
Ensure that you use your SLC entitlement in
the years leading up to resettlement, and ELC
while serving, during resettlement and in the
ten years after you leave, as well as IRTC grant,
accommodation and travel entitlements. Be
aware that you can now use either SLC or ELC
under certain circumstances (your SRA will be
able to advise), and remember that you may
receive free tuition fees for your first level 3
qualification, foundation degree or
undergraduate degree for ten years after you
leave the Forces.
Finally … relax!
Having been in the Forces, you will be used to
planning, seeking the advice of others,
researching, analysing data, strategising,
seeing the whole picture, understanding the
minutiae, then using a calm and focused
approach to carry out the task. Resettlement is
no different. Use these skills as you approach
this transition, and carry them through into
your training, learning and, ultimately, new
career.

Course

Train2Train, in partnership with Serco, have produced this unique
and bespoke course, the only one of its kind within the UK.
The aim of the course is to provide
delegates with the required level of
competency to progress towards
working within a custodial environment.
This course is recommended for anyone
wishing to pursue a career in a custodial
role within a prison or immigration
removal centre (Serco managed).
For successful delegates who meet all
competencies, Serco will offer work
experience within one of these roles,
which may result in a permanent position
being offered.
The course is a mixture of group,
individual, theory and practical work,
with some additional self-study required
and runs for a period of seven weeks.
