Are you looking for an inspiring, rewarding career, working alongside exceptional people? As a Poppy Factory Employment Consultant, you’ll be helping veterans to find sustainable employment and supporting them in their new roles. 

At the Poppy Factory, we help veterans to find meaningful and sustainable employment after service. Our aim is to empower veterans, help them to recognise their unique skills, and give them the confidence to move forwards in their career.

As an Employment Consultant, you’ll assist veterans in navigating barriers to employment, such as physical and mental health conditions, substance use, criminal records, and insecure housing. You’ll be based at your home, but will regularly travel for face-to-face meetings with clients, colleagues, and partner organisations.

You’ll meet with veterans to help them figure out their career ambitions, and support them in drafting application materials, overcoming challenges, and connecting with employers. You’ll work alongside health and welfare service professionals to ensure that your clients have access to all the support they need.

What you'll bring

  • Adaptability: You’re an emotionally resilient person, who thrives in a varied and challenging role where no two days are the same. You’re skilled at balancing competing priorities and can shift focus quickly to effectively support your clients.
  • Collaboration: You’re an empathetic communicator, who can quickly build rapport with your clients. You can effectively share back your knowledge about best practice, client engagement techniques, and organisational partnerships with colleagues.
  • Motivation and commitment: Helping your clients reach their employment goals requires hard work, tenacity, and a sense of purpose.
  • Experience and confidence in empowering people with complex challenges: Many of the veterans you’ll be working with need intensive support to manage health issues, substance use, insecure housing, criminal records, or other barriers to employment.

Why Should you apply?

  • An opportunity to give back to our armed forces, and make a lasting positive impact in the lives of veterans and their families.
  • A competitive salary and benefits package, including generous holiday and pension contributions.
  • A varied role, with a mix of travelling in your area, home working, quarterly shared-space working days, and biannual visits to the Poppy Factory in Richmond, London.
  • A welcoming and empowering culture, with regular opportunities for team connecting and shared learning throughout the year.
  • An opportunity to flex your outreach and engagement skills, collaborating with organisations across your region to empower your clients, grow our service, and make a lasting impact.

How to apply

To apply for this position please prepare your CV and a covering letter clearly outlining how you meet the essential criteria in the person specification as set out above and submit via the online application process. Please address your covering letter to Keiron Coombs, Services Manager.

For an informal conversation to find out more about this role, please contact Keiron Coombs.

The closing date for this role will be 4 January 2026. Please note we cannot accept late or incomplete applications. Only applications submitted through our online system can be accepted.

No agencies please.
