You can make a real difference to ex military personnel injured in service and now urgently needing some support.

Operational tours of Afghanistan and Iraq had made a lasting
impression on Tom and had taken a significant personal toll. Despite numerous challenges he continued to work within the military, helping service personnel like himself that were also suffering from physical injuries or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

In late 2019 the “On Course Foundation” (a military charity
that helps ex service personnel) passed Tom`s details across to myself with a view to seeing if Tom could be found employment near his hometown.

We worked with Tom and his occupational therapist over several
months to better understand his aspirations and personnel challenges. After four years without a job Tom was understandably nervous about moving into full time employment again, and perhaps letting employers down.

We approached a local manufacturing company and explained
the situation. The company has a forward leaning approach to supporting its personnel, and a strong Corporate Social Responsibility ethic.

The company agreed to put in place some basic changes to
accommodate Tom`s injuries, and he started work in April 2020. Tom continues to grow in confidence and is now part of a new team, with his new career and work
colleagues.

Tom`s story encapsulates what CareerForces and the On Course Foundation are aiming to deliver. Building up great people, to help the private sector deliver improved productivity and profits, but in a socially responsible manner.
