JOINTFORCES@ISS
Career opportunities for ex-military communities
Supporting our servicepeople
With over 350,000 Placemakers and over 30 locations worldwide, ISS is one of the world’s largest facilities management employers and a recognised supporter of ex-military employment.
Awarded Gold in the MoD’s Employer Recognition Scheme and winner of the IWFM’s Social Value 2021 award, the JointForces@ISS programme has supported military service leavers, veterans and spouses in their transition to the civilian workplace since 2017 - with support networks made for and shared by armed forces alumni.
JointForces@ISS not only simplifies the transition, but introduces ex-military to an industry where their technical, problem-solving and team-building skills can prosper. With our support, the military community finds long-term career fulfilment, meet like-minded members of the service community and find extended support for their families and spouses.
An industry for aptitude
Our industry supports a spectrum of specialist roles, serves a broad range of industries and allows those in the military community to prosper through their unique operational skills. From technology to teambuilding, management to maintenance, logistics to leadership, JointForces@ISS provides plenty of opportunities for those that have served to shine.
- Work in proactive environments, managing services and mitigating business risks; or provide reactive support for fast-moving industry clients and events.
- See large-scale projects brought to completion via your skills in planning, analysis and data gathering.
- Make a difference for other people who have served via internal support networks and our Armed Forces ERG – improving the transition to civilian work for the entire military community.
- Work with transferrable skills. Find a natural fit for your skills as an ex-service personnel, leveraging character traits such as adaptability, resilience, and a high level of organisational aptitude.
