We have sadly reached a time where the amount of service personnel who have acquired some form of disability or long-term injury, as a result of time spent within the Armed Forces now far outweighs the number of non-operational roles individuals would traditionaly be offered, should they stay with their regiments. we have also been made aware of individuals whose desire to stay has often been born out a total fear of what else is available and this we are hoping to address.
A lot of people are currently looking at this situation and asking questions about The Veteran's Minister's Welfare Pathway, which could potentialy see an amount of individuals leaving the services with disabilities or long-term injuries. With the wave of public support behind the military, with what they as individuals have achieved for all of us it would be un-thinkable to simply allow these servicemen and women to just leave, and thus I founded "Soldier on!" which is a specialist recruitment initiative to help this group of servicemen and women to find alternative, civilian employment. We offer the following:
1) CV writing, interview training and sector knowledge seminars
2) Work experience for those who need something non-military on their CV, before aiming for permanent placements
3) Permanent placements for those who we can find careers for immediately. (traded individuals etc)
4) In the case of an individual who is on long-term rehabilitation and will eventualy return to full active duty we offer to find internships and placements with civilian companies to fit in with their rehabilitation schedules. This will also be beneficial in the future when the individual retires as they will have some form of commercial experience on their CV.
This service is offered to ALL ranks, ALL branches of the Armed Forces and to veterans as well as service leavers. It is completely free.
"Soldier on!" is part of a network of ex-military headhunters who are already committed to helping any service leaver or veteran find employment.
CURRENT ROLE:
One of our clients is a newly formed MedEvac company, offering evacuations globaly and for a range of clients inlcuding politicians, security consultants, holiday-makers and climbers to name a few. At the heart of the organisation is the Operations Room based in London. The company is run by a former Infantryman and managed by a former RSM. They now have a requirement for 6 Operations Executives to manage the evacuation process from initial emergency call to repatriation. The client has specificaly asked to interview candidates from "Soldier On!" Our priority is thus to find individuals who are looking for work in central London who have acquired some form of disability or long-term injury whilst serving. We are secondly looking more broadly for individuals who have experience of working in the MedEvac chain.
