Service Families Employment

The Service Families Employment scheme addresses the barriers that can result from the demands of military life and which make it harder for Service families to access opportunities to improve their employment, training and career prospects.

On Civvy Street, employers are being encouraged to advertise job vacancies that are on or near a Ministry of Defence location. Some of the employers who are participating in this scheme are featured on this page.

Civvy Street is working closely with employer organistions and industry sector agencies to bring you into contact with civilian employers, trades and professions who are promoting career opportunities within their sector

The Civvy Street Employment Fair is an online version of the type of event normally held in large exhibition centres. At these events, employers gather to 'sell' the benefits of working for them and to meet prospective candidates for their job vacancies.

The Service Families Employment scheme and the Be The Boss scheme were both launched on Civvy Street on 1st April, 2010.
