We’re building a seamless network fit for the data-age. As an organisation we wanted to adapt this seamlessness to the onboarding of our new employees, especially those that are ex-forces. Transitioning from the military to the civilian world can be challenging in all sorts of ways. We’re doing our best to make sure it’s as easy as possible.
We have all ex-military applicants pre-screened by other ex-military employees within CityFibre to match the candidate with a role that is best suited to the person and the position or rankings they held. Plus, our ex-servicemen and women are always on hand to help understand what life after the armed forces looks like.
As ex-military, you are probably used to a comprehensive system of support – well, we give our own people the same.
We’re proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant - a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. We’re currently hold a silver level membership. As we work to embed the Covenants ethos in all of our build partners, we’re striving for gold.
The military community within CityFibre is focused on creating an encouraging environment for our ex-forces employees as they transition to civilian careers. For all ex-military personnel there are policies in place to guarantee any and all the support they need. Plus, the Network provides valuable mentoring support to all those who may want or need it.
Our Service Leavers know what it means to be a part of something bigger, and this is what makes them incredible additions to our teams. We’ve set up the CityFibre Armed Forces Network to offer our ex-forces employees a sense of comfort and familiarity that they might miss from their time in the forces. The Network will allow you to meet like-minded people, share experiences, raise awareness for different military charities, and support one another as you step into your new roles.
Supporting our employees and backing each other is a key part of The CityFibre Way. So if you’re already a reservist, or looking to become one, we can help you with the following:
