JobCentre Plus Services - Department for Work and Pensions

As part of the Armed Forces Covenant, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has initiatives that help current and former armed forces personnel and families access Jobcentre Plus services.

This includes having an Armed Forces Champion in every Jobcentre Plus district who ensures that support is provided.  The Armed Forces Champion in each district has specific responsibilities for supporting members of the Armed Forces Community. 

This involves a frontline role supporting work coaches in case loading claimants with complex needs, supporting veterans into work and helping resolve complex issues.

Please email the area team that covers the Rotherham area and the whole of South Yorkshire at northcentral.armedforceschampions@dwp.gov.uk for any queries or referrals.
