James Gray MP Endorses Recruit for Spouses

“I was delighted to attend the launch of Recruit for Spouses, a new venture based in Wiltshire that I am pleased to endorse” said North Wiltshire MP, James Gray. 

Recruit for Spouses has been set up to bridge the gap between national employers and a growing band of service spouses who are looking to re-enter the workplace, after subjugating their careers due to their partners’ numerous postings and frequent deployment, often overseas. 

The Founder, Heledd Kendrick, says “one of the hardest things about being married to a soldier, sailor or airman, is the constant moving around rendering it almost impossible to find a job.  Employers perceive service spouses as being too transient to make a worthwhile contribution to their organisations.  However we’re here to prove otherwise – be it short term contracts, flexi working, job-sharing, full-time employment or virtual (online) work”.

Kendrick will be introducing potential employers to over 400 registered candidates, who count skills and trades such as accountancy, HR experts, lawyers and PAs among their numbers.  A nominal charge will be made to employers and profits from the venture will be given to service charities, embracing the military covenant.

Recruit for Spouses already has partnered with British Telecom, Siemens and Golley Slater providing a range of opportunities for service wives and has established a meaningful dialogue with the regional Chambers of Commerce.
