🎖️Helping ambitious Service Leavers build exceptional civilian careers🎖️
Military to Civilian Career Coaching | 1:1 Resettlement Support for UK Service Leavers
I Get It...
-
You want a clear civilian career strategy is in place, so you know what direction you're building towards and how to use the the remainder of your resettlement window with purpose instead of guesswork.
-
You want to feel proud of the career you're moving towards because it reflects your experience, responsibility and standards - not just the safest job you could land after service.
-
You want to position yourself with confidence because you know the level you're aiming for, you understand your value, and you can explain it clearly to civilian employers.
-
You want the future to feel exciting again because you can see a career path with purpose, progression, financial stability and room to grow over the next 5–10 years.
-
You want to leave service with direction, identity and momentum - clear on what you're moving towards, who you're becoming, and how to build a civilian future worthy of what you've achieved in service.
But right now....
-
You’re scrolling through roles that should fit, yet none of them feel like a real match.
-
You’re collecting courses, workshops and advice - and it's still unclear.
-
You’re drowning in information that isn't tailored to you.
-
You leave resettlement sessions thinking, “This is fine....but I still don’t know how to move forward.”
-
And you’re trying to figure it out alone - because you’re used to being the one people rely on.
I See You.
When I left the RAF, everyone assumed I’d breeze through transition because of my recruitment background.
But stepping back into Civvie Street still felt like returning to a new world.
I remember sitting down to update my CV, something I’d done hundreds of times for others, thinking: “Why does this feel harder than it should?”
It wasn’t a lack of experience.
It was that my military experience didn't translate without effort.
For the first time in a long time, I’d felt out of step.
So I did what I knew how to do: broke down my experience into civilian language, spoke to employers and recruiters, and over-prepared for interviews.
That’s when I realised:
You can be confident, capable and respected - and still feel unsure how to articulate who you are without the rank, role or structure you’ve always known.
It doesn’t mean you’re behind.
It means the transition gap is real.
The real breakthrough happened when....
My husband stepped out of uniform after 22 years of service.
A man with huge experience and real leadership was suddenly sat in front of a laptop, trying to figure
out where he fit, how to write a CV and deal with recruiters - things he’d never had to navigate before.
I could see the quiet frustration: highly capable, but unsure how to show it in a world
that didn’t automatically understand his value.
So I stepped in - not as his wife, but using everything I'd learned from my own transition,
and my years as a recruiter and a hiring manager…
I helped him:
-
Get clear on what he wanted next
-
Translate 22 years of experience into civilian language
-
Identify roles and industries that genuinely fit
-
Build a plan so he knew exactly what to do
-
Prepare for interviews so he felt calm and credible
And the result?
He didn’t just get a job. He landed a role that respected his experience, matched his level,
and made him feel like himself again.
That was the moment I knew this was the work I was meant to do.
And Jenny Roberts Coaching was born - for Service Leavers who want a
transition that reflects who they are.
That’s why I created…..
