Employers
In a fast-paced world that is ever changing and full of competition, the need to maximise limited resources and budget is ever greater.
Forces Families Jobs can help you to achieve this by offering you free access to a pool of talented employees whose current resource is very much untapped. Military spouses and family members are often highly qualified and unfulfilled in their employment due to lack of opportunity or flexibility. As an employer you can have access to this hard working and resilient community who are committed, resourceful, strong and able to deal with ambiguity.
Take a look at how two of our employers, Amazon and Fujitsu, use Forces Families Jobs and make it work for them:
We are looking for employers who are understanding of the military lifestyle and who are able to offer job opportunities that are flexible and that do not disadvantage those from the military community.
If you are looking to make your Armed Forces Covenant commitments more meaningful, address some more of your diversity and inclusion targets or simply are committed to returning talented people to the workplace then we want to hear from you.
So, if you are actively looking to recruit for a role, or are interested in in finding out more, please email us at help@forcesfamiliesjobs.co.uk. Our site is free to use, all that we ask is that your company has signed the Armed Forces Covenant.

Please note that if you are a recruitment agency, you can advertise jobs on this site where you are employing people directly within your organisation, but you cannot advertise jobs on behalf of clients. If a client has signed the Armed Forces Covenant you will need to advertise via their direct employer account on the site. In instances where they do not have a Forces Families Jobs account, you can sign up for one on their behalf, with their permission and advertise accordingly. This is to ensure that all roles advertised on this site are Covenant signatory companies only.
