Join ClinksThe RFEA's simple aim, since 1885, has been to help those leaving and those who have left the Armed Forces to find and to remain in employment throughout their working lives. We aim to make the client 'Job Ready' by signposting them to bespoke support required using our Nova Network of support and tracking this via our Nova Support team prior to finding them the right employment choice.

It will be called 'Project Nova'
Veteran cohort - especially those with late on set Mental Health issues and to make early interventions that, if left undiagnosed, would lead to further deterioration of personal circumstance, loss of employment and a possible Prison sentence. To reduce re-offending by the ex-military community by Early Intervention and subsequent Diversion through engagement and appropriate signposting for bespoke support followed by a constant tracking method to ensure that re offending is reduced to a minimum.
