Equal Opportunities
Skill Force recognises and encourages diversity in its workforce. All our employment policies are based on the principles of fairness and equality.

A copy of the job description and person specification is sent to each applicant.

Support for Service Leavers
Skill Force is able to take service leavers during their resettlement on attachment/work experience, with the appropriate permission from your parent unit. While such attachments are no guarantee of employment, they allow the individual to gain valuable information and employment experience in preparation for a formal Skill Force selection centre. Units may also gain PR from placing an individual in a charitable organisation within the local community. For more information please speak to your Resettlement Manager or Skill Force directly.
 
Please note however, we do not pay for periods of terminal leave.
