The Poppy Factory’s employability service supports wounded, injured and sick veterans back into meaningful and sustainable employment.
Our employment support is available to individuals who have served for one day or more in the Armed Forces or Reserves, and consider themselves to have any kind of physical or mental health condition.
Support near you
The Poppy Factory’s employability consultants are based regionally throughout England and Wales, offering regular one-to-one remote contact with veterans.
They help each veteran research and apply for job opportunities in their region, and offer ongoing in-work support.
We work with amazing individuals who have loyally served this country.
The skills and experiences they have gained during Service are extremely valuable and employers benefit hugely from their expertise.

Christmas is often a tough time for the veterans we support. Four in five report a mental health condition and many are socially isolated with complex challenges.
We’ve helped more than 150 veterans move into employment since the pandemic began. Your support will help change many more lives.
