Ex Forces Services
After many years of service, leaving the military (Army, RAF, Royal Marines, and Royal Navy) can be one of the most important life changes for many individuals.
For ex-forces personnel, this transition can be particularly challenging. Firstly, finding a new job, adjusting to a new environment, and integrating into a civilian community can be challenging. Following this, the process of transformation is intricate and intensely personal, requiring each individual to overcome certain obstacles and showcase their unique abilities.
HR Consultant Mia Gaitely, who has been in the military for eight years, is currently a National Reservist and works full-time at Nockolds HR. Her own experience demonstrates her understanding of the difficulties faced by ex-forces personnel and her ability to support them as they adjust to civilian life.
We offer a wide variety of tailored services to individuals leaving the military and employers with former military staff, addressing unique challenges.
