Army HIVE Christmas and New Year Closures

The majority of Army HIVEs will be closed after duties on Fri 19 Dec 25 and will reopen on Mon 5 Jan 26. There may be localised variations to these dates for individual HIVEs.

Army HIVE HQ is also closed during the festive fortnight, so any enquiries submitted via the ‘If you need further information’ MS Forms function on our UK, Cyprus or Overseas blogs will be answered when we return in the New Year.

We will periodically cover private messages on our Army HIVE Facebook platform (and X/Instagram where possible) whilst we are closed. However, this will not be 24/7 and should not be relied upon for anything that requires an urgent response.

To support our customers with more immediate requirements however, the Army HIVE HQ email will provide a comprehensive out of office autoreply, detailing points of contact that are either 24/7, emergency providers, or open over the festive leave fortnight. To receive this autoreply, please email:
RC-Pers-HIVEComms-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk

Individual HIVEs will also provide localised contact details for Christmas and New Year cover wherever possible in their automated replies. Therefore, if you email your closest HIVE, which you can find on HIVE’s page on the Army website, their autoreply may be of additional assistance.

Army HIVE wishes all of its Service community customers, and our internal and external stakeholders, a very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to continuing our support and engagement in 2026.

Childcare Worksproject starting on 25th February 2025

 


I deliver a paid employment programme called the “Childcare Works Project” and have been delivering it since 2014 on behalf of NDNA. This bespoke project to help eligible people who want a career in childcare, but don’t know where to start, a pathway into this career.

This one is slightly different as the funding provider is the “Armed Forces Covenant Fund” and I am finding it hard to get the project out to the people it is intended for.

 I have attached two documents on the background of the project plus the extra details you may need and I would really appreciate it if you could email it out to all of your colleagues that would be able to pass it onto possible trainees.

The eligibility status for entry onto the paid employment project is they must be a partner or spouse of any serving military personnel or reservist.

 The project starts on the 25th February and runs for 16 weeks.

 So if you know of anyone who fits into that bracket please get in touch, I will happily give them a call and give them more information.

And if you can share this on an Armed Forces facebook pages, HIVE pages or anything similar I would be very grateful

 Thanks
