Empower Support for the Voluntary Sector

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Empower Support for the Voluntary Sector are Gold Award holders. We provide supportive work practices for reservists and a guaranteed interview scheme, for veterans, those transitioning to civilian life and spouses. As a company working in the voluntary sector we regularly manage recruitment on behalf of charities. Where Empower are involved in recruitment, we encourage our clients to adopt a guaranteed interview policy. As Chair of the Veterans Advisory Pensions Committee for Wales, I work with the committee to promote the Armed Forces Covenant and use LinkedIn to influence companies and individuals to sign up. 

About us

Empower Support for the Voluntary Sector operates primarily in the Charity Sector. Together with Charity Job Finder we are prominent in the charity sector in Wales for employers and job seekers. In addition to this we provide a range of professional services to the charity sector around business planning, governance, change and leadership. Though a small team we often work with consultants who are veterans and have a network of veteran owned businesses with whom we engage.

Empower was one of the first sponsors of the Welsh Veterans Awards and now sit on the board of the English, Welsh and Scottish Veterans Awards which recognises the contribution of veterans to their community.

We use LinkedIn to raise awareness of voluntary sector roles which would be of interest to Veterans and look forward to engaging with Forces Families Jobs to ensure there is further exposure of vacancies in the charity sector for veterans and spouses.
