Wings for Warriors is a UK registered charity, which gives wounded, injured or sick servicemen and women a future worth fighting for, by training them as professional pilots.

For many soldiers, life outside the forces can appear scary and uncertain at the best of times. Add a life changing injury to the equation and the future can quickly become a dark and depressing place.

Instead of a short term project or challenge, we provide our wounded warriors with the skills they need to achieve an exciting, rewarding and sustainable future for many years to come. We rebuild confidence, capabilities and pride and return professionals to their communities as someone to look up to instead of look after.

More than 12,000 people leave the armed forces each year and many struggle to transition into civilian life. Matt Weston - who lost both his legs and an arm in an explosion whilst serving in Afghanistan - understands just how dramatic that transition can be. Through his work with the Barclays AFTER Programme, he supports veterans making the transition back into civilian life.

Matt Weston was just 20 years old and serving with the Royal Engineers in Afghanistan when an explosion changed his life forever.

He was clearing landmines with 33 Engineer Regiment, when an improvised explosive device, or IED, went off. Matt lost both his legs and his right hand, suffered from a burst bladder, lacerated liver and burns as well as internal wounds that meant the removal of a section of his intestines.

He is thought to be the most seriously injured British solider to survive an explosion in the country.

As would be expected, his recuperation was long and difficult. Quite apart from the physical recovery, he suffered with mental health problems and remembers long periods of not wanting to leave his home.

But things changed when a colleague suggested he start preparing for life after the military. "My recovery officer sent me off to a CV workshop with Barclays and things just went from there."

Matt eventually took up a role in the team running Barclays' Armed Forces Transition, Employment and Resettlement ( AFTER) programme for military veterans, becoming just the second full-time employee in the team.

"I was a non-graduate and left the army as a private soldier with serious injuries and then had mental health issues, but I've forged a career in a field I never thought I'd end up in. When service personnel I work with see what I've achieved, it makes them more positive about what they can do. If I can do it, anyone can."

Barclays AFTER Programme

The AFTER programme supports people leaving the armed forces. Since being established in 2010, it has supported more than 7,000 military veterans and Barclays has directly hired around 700 of those on the programme to work with the bank.

Matt explains: "The programme has many threads to it. First and foremost, we're there to help people transition to civilian life. This could be anything from helping veterans find somewhere to live to training and employment support."

Barclays donates £250,000 to military charities each year, with colleagues also raising a similar amount. Those with the most serious needs are referred to service providers with the right expertise. Since the programme started, around £6 million has been donated.

Matt explains what happens for those who want to start finding work: "A lot of people are not remotely interested in financial services. Through their interactions with us, some decide they like it - and some retain their view!

"Irrespective of whether they want to work for us or not, our key commitment is helping veterans understand how their skills are transferable to other industries."

Leaders in battle to leaders in finance

Matt explains why forces veterans have often untapped skills that can transfer to the corporate world. "There are various benefits to employing vets, diversity of thought for one. Instead of hiring people from the same schools and same universities into the same areas, we're getting people who might think in a slightly different way.

"A lot of what you do in the forces is about managing and leading people. In a corporate setting, people often don't get leadership training until they're very senior, whereas you get leadership training from the role of private and upwards in the forces."

Even those with seemingly specific skill sets can find a home: "People in the forces can become institutionalised - you don't really realise what's out there, you might not understand what your skill set translates to.
Our key commitment is helping veterans understand how their skills are transferable to other industries
"For instance, there's a guy in my team who was a sniper. People might say what can he do? Well, he has amazing attention to detail, patience, exceptional communication skills - all assets that are really valuable in financial services."

Beyond the AFTER Programme

Part of Matt's work involves taking the best parts of the AFTER programme and supporting corporate partners and other companies to run similar programmes. "We can't do it all ourselves," he explains. "Of the 12,000 people leaving the armed forces each year, we're only able to support about 10% of them, but by getting others to follow our example, we're able to have a bigger impact."

Barclays also supports those currently serving in the armed forces who face their own set of unique challenges, Matt explains: "Many service personnel move every two years due to redeployment. In ordinary circumstances that person is not seen as being settled - lots of addresses on your credit history can affect your credit score. Barclays is able to negate that.

"Similarly, people are often deployed abroad where there are no cash machines, so people need chequebooks. At a time when the use of cheques has massively declined, we're able to make sure service personnel have what they need to get by."

Barclays also runs military talent days across the country twice a year, with capacity for 500 people across three different locations. These events allow people to get information about Barclays and how their skills might apply to a role in financial services.

Nine Years AFTER

Back in 2010 when the AFTER programme began, many of those leaving the forces had been injured while in service. Nine years on, only about 5% of veterans who join the programme have sustained injuries. "I've seen the AFTER programme evolve over the years," says Matt. "My first year, we only hired 50 people, but now it's 100 plus per year - all veterans in regular forces or the reserves. It's really rewarding to see the programme continuing to succeed."

Now married and living in London, having moved from his hometown of Norwich, Matt reflects on the fulfilment he gets from his work. "What motivates me is helping others," he says thoughtfully. "It allows me to help the sort of people I used to serve alongside."

You can apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to help with the costs of a course at a college or training provider in England.

Loan eligibility does not depend on your income and there are no credit checks.

Check if you're eligible before you apply for an Advanced Learner Loan.

If you're studying a level 3 qualification, you might be eligible for an 'Adult Education Budget' grant instead of an Advanced Learner Loan. If you get a grant, you do not need to repay it. Ask your college or training provider about grants before you apply for a loan.

If someone is claiming an Adult Dependants' Grant on your behalf, the amount of money they get could be affected if you successfully apply for an Advanced Learner Loan.

Different funding is available if you want to study in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales. Check:

When you repay your loan

You'll have to start repaying your loan when your income is over a certain amount (the 'threshold' amount).

You'll be charged interest from the day you get the first payment.

You can choose to make extra repayments towards your loan. These are in addition to the repayments you must make when your income is over the threshold amount and are not compulsory.

Access to Higher Education (HE) course

Student Finance England will 'write off' any outstanding Advanced Learner Loan balances you owe for an Access to HE course once you complete a higher education course. This means you do not have to repay it.

The higher education course must be eligible for student finance.

If you made extra repayments towards your Advanced Learner Loan before starting a Higher Education course, these repayments are non-refundable.

Loan Bursary Fund

You may also be eligible for money from the Advanced Learner Loan Bursary Fund if you need help with some costs while studying, for example childcare, travel or trips related to your course.

Most qualifications have a difficulty level. The higher the level, the more difficult the qualification is.

If you need to know the level of a qualification, you can:

Qualifications at the same level sometimes cover different amounts of the same subject.

Example

AS levels and A levels are both level 3, but you study AS levels over 1 year and A levels over 2 years. So you learn more about the subject at A level.

My name is Katy. I am a services support assistant for Breast Cancer Now.

I've done a bit of office management as well. I've temped for a hospital, again, doing administrative duties for theatre. And that's really sort of helped add loads and loads of different types of admin strategies and understanding of different systems to my repertoire.

My current role involves being that first point of contact for any person diagnosed with breast cancer who wants to access our services. You learn so much doing administrative duties as well, because even though the absolute core of what you do is like spreadsheets, registrations, emails, answering the phone, you get so much knowledge about the company for which you work.

Something that over the years I've learnt is equally as important is understanding your company's style of communication. Sort of taking that time when you're new into a role to think like, how are they sending emails? What sort of tone do we use? How do we answer the phone? How would we phrase a certain thing?

My favourite thing about my job is, and it sounds so cheesy, but it's just helping people do what they want to be able to do. So whether that be someone who wants to access support, whether that be my colleague who wants to revamp the way that we send emails to someone. Being able to support people, to expand both the service that we are providing and how they work within their job. It's really, really rewarding for me.

Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF)

# data[].attributes.subject
Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What is the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF)?

The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is a new credit transfer system which has replaced the National Qualification Framework (NQF). It recognises qualifications and units by awarding credits. And since each unit has a credit value and the credits can be transferred, the system gives the learners the ability to get qualifications at their own pace. The QCF is jointly regulated by the England’s regulator Ofqual, Wales’ DCELLS and Northern Ireland’s CCEA.

How Does the QCF System Work?

The QCF system is based on units which have credit value and levels (from Entry Level to Level 8). One credit roughly equals 10 learning hours which allows the learners to evaluate how much time they will need to gain the desired qualification. According to the QCF system, the learners can gain three types of qualifications:

awards

certificates

diplomas

How Credit Points are Awarded?

To gain an award, it is necessary to have 1 to 12 credit points which equals 10 to 120 hours of learning. Learners who have 13 to 26 credits (130 to 260 hours) are awarded certificates, while those who have 37 credits or more are awarded diplomas. The QCF system gives awards at any difficulty level from 1 to 8 which is due to the fact that it reveals the size of qualification and not its difficulty level. The latter is indicated by the title of qualification which, however, also reveals the size of the qualification and its subject.

How is Quality of Units and Qualifications Ensured ?

In addition to developing units, developing and accrediting qualifications, and awarding credits and qualifications, the regulators of the QCF are also responsible for maintaining a unit databank and monitoring the organisations that operate within the QCF in order to ensure that all awarded qualifications meet the regulatory requirements. These are specified in the Regulatory arrangements for the Qualifications and Credit Framework that has been developed jointly by the regulators in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

A Comparison between the QCF and the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF)

Just like the QCF, the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) also covers schools, colleges, and vocational training. The SCQF too is based on awarding credit points which reveal the size of qualification and the system of levels which indicates qualification’s difficulty but in contrary to the QCF, the SCQF has 12 rather than 8 levels. Just like in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, one credit point in Scotland roughly represents 10 hours of learning. The SCQF is jointly managed by the Scottish Qualification Authority, Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, Universities of Scotland, Association of Scotland’s Colleges and Scotland’s Government.

Guidance

Welcome to the service leaver's guide information page.

The service leavers guide offers information and advice prior to and after leaving regular service.

The guide contains information about armed forces pensions, resettlement, reserve liability and support from charitable organisations.

Of particular importance to service leavers is the Pen 1 form which should be completed at the 6 month point prior to your last day of service using the link on your JPA account. If you do not have access to JPA you should compete and return the hardcopy form, no later than 6 months before your last day of service. The completion of the form is a legal requirement and failure to do so will result in a delay of the receipt of any terminal benefits and pension that you are entitled to.

Ex-Mil Recruitment, a traditional and online recruitment consultancy for ex-military by ex-military.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With a database of many thousands of former members of all ranks of the UK Armed Services, the cornerstone to The List is a networking organisation with an established brand of 15 years standing.

The List enables extensive business to business, employment and recruitment networking opportunities serving the needs of employers and recruiters in every sector of the UK economy. It serves the direct personal employment needs of the Service and ex-Service job-seeker and in-business Member who is either moving, or thinking of moving, around the job market.

It affords individual and corporate Members the opportunity for virtual networking and monthly face-to-face business development and job-seeking meetings through The Liquid List.

The unique recruitment opportunities and offerings to employers make it highly attractive and competitive in the business market place.

Through this network The List reaches out to over 1 million ex-forces connected people in the UK workplace and overseas and creates personal recruitment, employment and business opportunities for the remainder of your employed life. It is a gateway to employment for ex-Forces people and the virtual 'hub' for anyone who wants to connect to and network with ex-Services people in the workplace.

The List is a warm, tribal, network which builds on the Service ethos of team-work, selflessness in helping others, trust, reliability and commitment. And it is these very same attitudes and behaviours that set ex-Forces people apart and those which employers and businesses seek.

As soon as you register (no cost - FREE) as an eligible individual you can:

Search and apply for jobs

Receive mailshots with jobs suited to you

Be 'found' by List staff, employers, recruiters and networkers

Advertise yourself to thousands of potential employers

Attend monthly job-seekers and business networking meetings (The Liquid List)

Receive career advice from In-Business members initiated and enabled at Liquid List meetings.

Be part of the network for the remainder of your employed life

Help and advise other ex-Service people

Register and Join Now

With low-cost networking annual membership at £30 + VAT or life membership at £50 + VAT you can then take the initiative yourself to search for, contact and network direct with In Business Members to create employment leads and opportunities; and receive no-cost career advice direct from In-Business members whom you contact. If you are already In Business you can use the network to create business connections and opportunities.

Additionally as a List Life Member you can request unlimited company and director reports (for UK registered companies) to support your job seeking and/or B2B research. Send your request to research@thelistuk.com

Try a network search

If you only apply for jobs by applying to jobs advertised in the media or on job boards you are halving your chances of finding a job. The List enables you to contact thousands of ex-forces people who are always willing to give you information, advice and guidance. Using the search tools on The List you can find and make direct contact with: people in a town, city or county; in a particular sector; particular firms and companies; those from your Service and/or branch; by former rank; and those you know by name.

Once you have made contact with someone they will be able to give you specific advice about how to approach a particular employer; how you should tailor your CV; how the prospective employer might feel about ex-military people; what training you might need. And best of all they might feed your CV straight to a decision-maker.

You must therefore "network; network; network ...." to create your own opportunities and leads to employment. This network is what makes The List matchless in the ex-Forces community. You network on The List by upgrading your account once you have logged in.

The List has a unique job board. Because we recognise that there are thousands of people leaving the Forces every year and because ex-Forces people are constantly moving around the job market we 'pull-in' jobs from right across the country and from all sectors in order to present those jobs in one place. And if there isn't a job that catches your eye then we provide a direct internet link to other job boards that might be able to help you. Those jobs which are particularly suited to ex-Forces tend to be listed under the Defence & Armed Forces sector on the job board or contain the keyword 'military' in the description. We list featured jobs on the homepage because those are the ones we are pushing at the time, but there are always hundreds of jobs on the job board.

In addition to their listing in the network, The List also enables In Business Members to advertise their business or services direct to other Members in the Members area. This inexpensive presence enables a Member to describe the business, provide direct contact information and a web-link to their business

The List is directly available as a source of human talent and business opportunities for employers and recruiters.

Twenty five thousand people leave the UK Services every year; 80% under the age of 40 and 50% under the age of 25. All have passed through selection, initial training and then developed a vast range of skills, trades and competencies embracing every facet of the delivery of the UK's Defence capability. It is this talent that joins The List, initially as job seekers, and then remain 'on board' as In Business Members furthering their own personal and business needs for the remainder of their employed life.

This infinite network enables individual Members and The List to reach into every sector of the UK economy, and overseas markets, to find the talent that employers seek; talent that has grounding in Defence but is continually being topped-up by experience, progression and success in other sectors. And because of the relative ease with which The List can source this talent, the recruitment offerings are immeasurably abated to those normally found in recruitment and HR sectors.

This network and the connection to over a million people is the USP of The List; no other organisation is able to offer such penetration of the ex-Forces community.

Other suppliers, professional intermediaries, headhunters and recruitment agencies, especially those supplying to the UK Defence sector and MOD, use The List themselves to source and deliver talent to their clients arguably more costly to employers if they were not to engage with The List direct.

The List is the formal recruiting partner of the Aerospace, Defence and Security industries trade association (A|D|S) thus delivering competitive advantage to 2,600 member companies and benefits from privileged access to those companies. The List is not an agency along traditional lines but rather a unique business organisation that is geared up to deliver real, value added, business development solutions direct to In-Business Members through the network and to clients availing themselves of recruitment offerings.

Recruitment Solutions:

We seek to adopt a partnering (special relationship) approach with clients to bring to bear our capability, experience and market position and knowledge to guarantee exemplary service delivery direct to a client through: shorter and timely supply chains; direct control over service delivery; avoidance of the use of subcontractors and intermediaries and a single point of contact and responsibility.

Basic Recruitment Services: The List offers highly competitive and abated standard recruitment solutions but always envisages and seeks to build bespoke and responsive solutions to meet the needs of a client. Our range of basic offerings covers:

Basic job advertising on the job board. Cost £50 + VAT (non-members); £25 + VAT (Corporate List and List Life Members rate)

Targeted mailshots to job seekers and job browsers. Cost £350 + VAT (non-members); £250 + VAT (List Life Members rate)

Pay for Mailshots
Advanced Recruitment Solutions:

With the exceptional power of the network and the ability to source candidates from across the complete employment spectrum, The List offers the following:

Managed Recruitment Solution Level 1: The production of a long-list of suitable, screened, candidates derived through extensive networking, refined through candidate assessment and filtering at significantly abated rates to industry norms.

Managed Recruitment Solution Level 2: A traditional full search assignment to deliver an interviewed short-list to the client at significantly abated rates to industry norms.

Contingent recruitment: Please contact us for fee rates.

Provision of Contractors: All the above methods are used to source suitable talent for employment as contractors but we then apply a different charging regime based on a per day % levy of the day rate.

Media & On-line Advertising: As required

Depending on the nature of the requirement The List is able to respond to the KPIs below, but would prefer to work with the client to be able to generate a service where employer risk is reduced to the absolute minimum:

Response to vacancy: Same business day guaranteed if before 4pm.

Targeted Mailshot: Same business day guaranteed if before 4pm

Contingent Search & networking: Within 24hrs of notification of vacancy

Contingent CV submission: Within 72hrs routinely; urgent vacancy within 24hrs

Corporate List Membership:

Whilst The List is a membership organisation made up of individuals it offers Corporate Membership to employers to enable them to derive significant financial benefit and abatements, additional advertising and marketing and direct access to the network along with a presence in the ex-Service community.

Basic Corporate Membership allows The List to be in the Members mind and proactive and responsive to additional requirements right across the business offering:

The opportunity to approach other List members and their businesses direct for B2B development purposes.

Half-price job advertising

Recruitment Services at a Corporate List member rate

Face to face business networking at Liquid Lists (LL - the monthly networking meetings),

The opportunity to approach individual List members as potential candidates for employment at LL,

The opportunity to display 'discrete' marketing material at LL,

One free 5-10 minute speaking 'slot' per annum at each of the venues of the monthly Liquid List,

'Free' recruitment from LL should the Corporate Member pick-up and finally place somebody arising from a LL initial meeting,

Live banner and company synopsis on The List website in Featured Employer and Featured Businesses area linking to the Member's website,

Other, mutually agreed, bespoke opportunities to focus on specific needs of the Member

The Corporate member is in our mind as we go about List business; our entrepreneurial and innovative approach to potential opportunities and B2B networking could add to your value stream.

We also offer other Corporate packages built upon Corporate Basic.

Information about employing disabled people and how the Disability Confident employer scheme can help your business.

Disability Confident is creating a movement of change, encouraging employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve how they recruit, retain and develop disabled people.
