Netcompany UK has established a dedicated Service Leavers Programme (SLP) to the Armed Forces Community, creating opportunities to join the Infrastructure Business Unit which supports services to a substantial number of clients across multiple sectors. This opportunity offers the prospective candidate unparalleled recognition, skills development and exposure, career development and an environment to land and transition from the military. SLP candidates are given full support from Netcompany instructors and Veteran’s Employee Resource Group. SLP candidates are also assigned a Netcompany veteran to assist transition, a relationship that complements our formal mentoring process. The Programme is 12 months long, although the successful candidate will become a full-time employee upon completion of the probation period of 6 months. Note the SLP is not an internship – candidates are hired as full-time employees from day one. The role can be fulfilled from our Leeds, Birmingham or London offices. During the 6-month probation period, office attendance of 4 days per week is mandatory.
