Specialist Employment Advice

Through our broad and unrivalled range of programmes, the Forces Employment Charity offers tailored advice specific to each individual client we support.

We’ve been operating for over 137 years, constantly reviewing the job market and looking for new opportunities to access and support different groups of ex-Forces personnel.

Part of this bespoke delivery is our team of Specialist Employment Consultants who deliver tailored advice to those who may be experiencing challenges including debt, housing-related issues or physical or mental health requirements.

Key for our Specialist Employment Consultants is working out the most important outcome for each individual and then creating a tailored programme designed to achieve this goal.

Whether that be part-time employment, full-time employment, volunteering, work placements, education or another bespoke ambition.

If you feel you need the support of a Specialist Employment Consultant, contact us or register with us today.
