We are truly invested in, and are a vital part of, the ‘military family’. Entertaining, informing, connecting and championing them is at the core of everything we do.
Some of us are ex-forces and current reservists. We are proud to have received the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold award, recognising our commitment to the Armed Forces community. Irrespective of our individual backgrounds, we are driven to meet the needs of all our audiences and colleagues.
From the morale of the Armed Forces, to the confidence of veterans retraining for civvy street, from charities struggling to communicate from disaster zones, to curious civilians interested in the work of our armed forces BFBS is at the heart of it.
What Our People Say
I like the way at BFBS I get to interact with the military helping support a service that provides a morale boost; it’s fulfilling. The variety is large and I have definitely benefitted from the skills that force you to develop. Things are always changing, and I like that. When I’m in the office I feel lucky to be working on a site that’s so green with lots of woodland, a tennis court and parking.
BFBS cares about the wellbeing of every colleague. We have an excellent Employee Assistance Programme which offers advice and support on a range of physical and mental health issues. There are also regular wellbeing events and activities, a team of trained Mental Health First Aiders, a group of supportive Menopause Champions and colleague networks that ensure everyone’s voices are heard. As the company’s Wellbeing lead, I focus entirely on how best to support, inform and bring together our community of brilliant colleagues.
I have been working for BFBS for over three years. It is a fantastic place to work with very talented and supportive colleagues. What truly makes it an amazing company to work for is the audience.
Working for BFBS has been one big adventure. I have travelled the world, met some extraordinary people and even driven a fire engine in Afghanistan! BFBS is like one big family. Definitely quirky, completely unique and full of brilliant, talented people who really care about each other and the military audience they support through their work.
I’m really enjoying working at BFBS. When I started in July 2019, I had one sole job responsibility as I was learning the ropes, however now I have taken on even more responsibilities which I am enjoying. In turn, they have helped me to develop my skills, especially with social media which I’m very happy about. BFBS has proved to be a great place for young people, especially those graduating from University or College, to start their career, embrace different challenges, and develop their skills.
You can have it all! Before joining BFBS I was really struggling to find a position where I could balance my professional goals and being there for my children. BFBS offered me the opportunity to work part-time and is very supportive of the challenges of working mums. I don’t have to choose between my career and my family.
BFBS has given me the opportunity to learn and develop new skills after making a career change into the Events Industry. It gives me the chance to travel all over the UK and the world, all while supporting the amazing work of the British Armed Forces.
