CAREER PURSUIT 2021

RESOURCES 71 NEW FEATURES You can now find news and details of events and apprenticeship opportunities on the site. We have also introduced a free career advice webinar series, partnering with training providers and employers. PROMOTING THE COVENANT For employers to be able to advertise on the site, they must have signed the AFC. The Families Federations are working with the MOD’s Defence Relationship Management to encourage all those employers who have signed the Covenant to use the site to promote their jobs and increase their exposure to a highly skilled and relatively untapped area of the labour force. The advantage of employers all being Covenant signatories is that partners, spouses, and family members can be reassured that the employers are aware of the challenges presented by the military lifestyle, won’t discriminate against them because of this, and are committed to being supportive of this community. ABOUT THE SITE As a jobseeker you can register to create an account, build and/or upload a CV using the site’s CV builder, create job alerts, and search for jobs by a variety of filters. The site is for all Service families, anywhere around the world. You can find it at www.forcesfamiliesjobs.co.uk. If you have any queries or if you’re an employer or training provider who would like to sign up, please contact the team on help@forcesfamiliesjobs.co.uk. 1.Employers who have signed the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) Any organisation that has signed the AFC can advertise their job opportunities free of charge.
