The Welsh Government has pledged to make the Welsh government “a great place for veterans to work” after the UK Cabinet Office launched a recruitment scheme for former members of the armed forces.
People leaving the armed forces who meet the minimum requirements for a civil service vacancy will effectively be guaranteed an interview or internal assessment (where applicable).
The scheme will be open to people who’ve served in the armed forces (reservist or full-time) for a minimum of a year and have either already left (regardless of how long ago it happened) or are in the process of leaving the armed forces.
The civil service is non-devolved, though the First Minister said: “The Welsh Government will be all the richer for having the skills and talents of veterans working in our Civil Service. We’re looking forward to welcoming Wales’ ex-Service personnel take their next career step with us.”
