Support for Plymouth's armed forces community

Are you:

  • transitioning from HM services and planning the next steps towards a career in Plymouth?

  • a working-age veteran seeking employment in the city or retraining?

  • a military spouse, partner or young person seeking new opportunities?

 

We are working to connect our local armed forces community with opportunities for skills, training, education, careers and jobs.

​

Making the transition from military to civilian life can be a daunting process for both the leaver and their families. There is a big adjustment to family life, with the normal routine being changed for everyone involved.  

 

When you leave the services, making your skillset understood and translated to the civilian working world can sometimes be tricky. The great news is, that there are some brilliant organisations out there to help!

​

Get started by looking at the Ministry of Defence's Service Leavers' Guide here, or click on the links below for local opportunities.
