Service Leavers

Lincoln College are keen for our students to benefit from the leadership and world-renowned expertise of our armed forces.

In return, we will support you to retrain as a Lecturer and make the transition to the classroom where you can share your expertise with the next generation.

We welcome interest from anyone who is leaving or has left full-time employment in the British Army, Royal Air Force or Royal Navy ideally in the last five years. 

The Armed Forces Covenant represents a promise by the nation that those that serve or have served, and their families, are treated fairly. 

Lincoln College holds the highest badge of honour, Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award. Awarded to employers that provide exceptional support to the armed forces community and defence by going above and beyond their covenant pledges. 

The College has pledged to ensure that it will provide equal opportunities for armed service personnel and their families, both as an employer and an education and training provider, to help them transition into civilian life at the end of their service.  

All 407 local authorities in mainland Great Britain and four Northern Ireland councils have pledged to uphold the Armed Forces Covenant. To date over 4,000 organisations have signed the covenant, including businesses and charities. 

Lincoln College have made a commitment to guarantee interviews for ex-armed forces personnel that meet the minimum shortlisting criteria.  

There is no time limit on when military veterans can apply, meaning they can apply straight after leaving their armed forces position, or a few years afterwards. 

The first of our four Cornerstones of Success is ‘The Capacity, Recognition and Wellbeing of our People’.

The collective talents and potential of our people is key to achieving our purpose and mission. We want our people to be healthy, well-rewarded, well-recognised and well-informed. 

We want our people to be happy because they are genuinely cared about and supported to perform to the best of their ability. Find out more about our Extraordinary Workplace on the Perks of the Job page. 

The CTP are the official provider of Armed Forces resettlement.

The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) is the Ministry of Defence working with Right Management. The CTP are proud to be the official provider of resettlement and have supported leavers of the Armed Forces for over 25 years, as they transition from the military into civilian life. There are huge benefits from registering and accessing the wealth of support they offer, from career transition guidance, skills workshops, vocational training and routes to employment. 

Lincoln College supports service leavers to gain employment after leaving the forces by advertising suitable vacancies on the CTP right jobs website, as well as the Lincoln College website.   

We also work with the CTP to provide tailored recruitment events aimed at anyone who is leaving or has left full-time employment in the British Army, Royal Air Force or Royal Navy ideally in the last five years.
