We value the unique experiences and insights ex-service personnel bring to our business. As part of our team, your military expertise can allow us to gain a real understanding of the defence sector, and build new, improved solutions tailored for the Armed Forces.
We know working in the military offers a variety of transferable skills, all of which are perfectly suited for a wide variety of roles within our business. You could join us in areas such as engineering, facilities management, project management, cyber security, IT development, or networking and infrastructure. You could also use your experience to progress into team leadership or a management position.
Whatever your area of expertise, we’ll encourage and support you to make the best use of all your skills and experiences, and use your unique perspective to help shape the future of our business.
Dedicated community space
With our ex-military community, we aim to develop a safe space for ex-military personnel where they can share their knowledge, support one another and raise awareness about their experiences within the wider business.
Transition support
We actively promote the recruitment of reservists and ex-service personnel within local Capita businesses, and support them throughout the transition to living and working as a civilian.
Flexibility
We always try to offer flexibility for our Service partners before, during and after their deployment, and aim to support them – as well as Veterans and their spouses and families – with employment in areas of our business where there is a strong Service focus, or areas located near active MoD sites.
Fundraising and awareness
We champion fundraising efforts for Armed Forces charities and encourage all Capita colleagues to take part in annual awareness days such as Remembrance Day and Armed Forces Day.
Paid special leave
For any of our colleagues who choose to be part of the Volunteer Reservist Forces (VRF), we support them by offering up to ten days of paid special leave each year, so that they have all the time they need to train for their Armed Forces commitments.
We’re proudly supporting the British Army to attract, source and select both Regular and Reserve officers and soldiers. Our Recruiting Partnering Project team is made up of both Capita and military colleagues with a wide range of expertise and experience.
Together, we’re guiding and supporting people who want to join the Army, so that we can take the best candidates forward and help them find where they belong.
We offer a huge range of roles across a number of different areas that are suitable for military service leavers and their spouses.
Projects and change
Within this area, you could use your skills to join us as a project manager, programme director, business analyst or similar. You’ll be helping to make change happen for our clients and transforming how they work for the better. We work across a wide variety of projects within both the public and private sector.
Technology and software
You could join us as an information and cyber security specialist, helping to increase our customers’ security posture and protect against business risks (including people, process & technology) from a range of criminal activity.
Defence
We work closely in partnership with the MOD and offer a range of roles to support projects we’re part of. You could become a Fire Service training instructor at the Fire Service College, helping to train current and future firefighters and emergency service personnel. Or you could join us within our Recruiting Partnering Project with the British Army where there are roles such as medical assessor, lead recruiter and administrator.
Customer service
Here you’ll find our typical customer service roles within our call centres supporting a variety of big name clients, from high-street banks to Virgin Media O2, Samsung and the RSPCA. If you’d prefer a field-based customer service role, you could join us as a field-based monitoring officer. They’re helping the Ministry of Justice to track individuals in the local area with monitoring equipment to support them to complete their sentences outside of prison.
