Service Leavers
Lincoln College has a variety of initiatives in place to help ex forces personnel resettle and continue to deploy the knowledge and skills they developed in the Armed Forces. Lincoln, and the wider region.
Re-Train as a Lecturer
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.
Armed Forces Covenant
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.
Guaranteed Interviews
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.
