Jobcentres: Armed Forces
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 20 March 2024 to Question 18350 on Jobcentres: Armed Forces, in which garrison towns the armed forces champions are located.
- Answer
-
Champions are allocated to Jobcentre Plus Districts, rather than individual Jobcentres.
Our model for Armed Forces Champions comprises 50 Armed Forces Champions working alongside 11 Group Leads at managerial level in 37 Districts. This ensures that there is at least one Armed Forces Champion role allocated to each Jobcentre Plus District supported by a Group network, with resources in the network targeted where there is geographically particularly high levels of demand, for example in areas where a garrison is located.
In addition to the Armed Forces Champions roles, all Work Coaches are trained to provide veterans and others with the help and support they need to access both benefits and employment support.
