You may have seen communications from us encouraging you to sign up to the Armed Forces Covenant.
With thousands of skilled people leaving the forces every year this is something that’s well worth considering, not least to access the Career Transition Partnership’s Rightjob online vacancy database and other recruitment support. The CTP provide a personalised, no cost service to employers, regardless of size throughout the UK and overseas.
Leavers include engineers, technicians, trainers, administrators, IT managers, drivers, chefs, nurses, pilots, operations managers, facilities managers, project managers and communications experts.
Find out more about the benefits of recruiting ex-services personnel here.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve, or have served, and their families, which says we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives.
