The Poppy Factory works with ex-Service men and women of all ages and service history, who are wounded, injured or sick.  

Our aim is to get you back into work and we achieve this by working together with organisations and providing funding towards your first year’s employment, if necessary.

Our Approach 

Whatever your medical condition, if this is perceived as a blocker for you getting into work, we will help. From the moment you contact us, we will be working with you to source suitable and sustainable employment.

We work closely with employers in all sectors and geographic locations to source roles. We have developed strong partnerships with national organisations to provide further employment opportunities.  Click here to view our current vacancy list. 

Please note that if you know of a company for whom you would like to work, do forward their details and we can assess the viability of funding.

Our Support

 However much support you would like, we will always endeavour to provide it. We pride ourselves on the individual approach we take with our highly experienced caseworkers. As an overview, the key ways that we can support you are by:
