OFF THE PATCH

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

OFF THE PATCH recognises the value that the serving personnel, veterans, reservists and military families bring to our business. We seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:

  • promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation through our website and social media platforms;
  • striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partners through providing job opportunities in areas around military bases;
  • endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment;
  • seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible;
  • aiming to actively participate in Armed Forces Day through our social media platforms;
  • offering a unique housing service for those currently serving or affiliated with the British Armed Forces or military veterans.

About us

With an increase in military property-owners, OFF THE PATCH offers a unique service to those currently serving or affiliated with the British Armed Forces (including military veterans and those working in the defence industry), by providing a tailored lettings service to help for the Armed Forces community manage the changing landscape of property ownership. We provide a bespoke service, with specialist knowledge of the military community gained from first-hand experience of owning and managing property, living in service accommodation, as well as renting privately. In practice, OFF THE PATCH is a specialised military letting agent, placing forces families in rental housing owned by other military personnel and those closely affiliated. We also further support Armed Forces families by creating job opportunities for military partners through our team of free-lance Agents who support us with the day-to-day lettings activities. This provides flexible working arrangements to fit around the ever-changing military lifestyle.
