At CWR, we are proud to be a Silver Award holder of the Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme – a recognition of our commitment to supporting ex-service personnel, reservists, and their families. We understand the immense value that veterans bring to the workforce, from leadership and teamwork to resilience and problem-solving.
However, transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging, and many veterans face barriers to employment. By actively recruiting and supporting ex-service personnel, we’re not just giving back – we’re strengthening our team with skilled, dedicated individuals who make a real difference.
A Commitment to Social Value
At CWR, social value is at the heart of what we do. Supporting veterans isn’t just about employment – it’s about creating opportunities, building inclusive workplaces, and contributing to stronger communities. By recognising and harnessing the skills of ex-service personnel, we’re investing in people who have already dedicated themselves to public service.
How We Support the Armed Forces Community
- Employment Opportunities – We actively seek to hire veterans and reservists, providing meaningful roles where they can thrive.
- Flexible Working for Reservists – We accommodate training and deployment needs, recognising the vital role reservists play in national security.
- Workplace Support & Development – We offer training, mentorship and career progression opportunities to help veterans transition into civilian careers.
- Additional Paid Leave – We provide up to five additional days of paid leave per year (pro-rata for part-time employees) to support training commitments or camp duties.
- Mobilisation Support – In the event of mobilisation, we fully support our Reservists throughout all phases, including medical and pre-deployment training, operational tour, and demobilisation with post-operational leave.
- Guaranteed Interview Scheme – As part of our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant, we offer a guaranteed interview scheme for ex-service personnel, ensuring fair and equal access to employment opportunities.
By embedding these measures into our business, CWR strengthens its connection with the Armed Forces community while creating lasting social value.
