Recruit for Spouses offers businesses the chance to access this vast potential workforce by advertising their jobs direct to this unique community. Spouses upload their CVs, whilst employees advertise their vacancies and the RFS team of volunteers match the two together. The types of jobs available are wide ranging, from shop floor to board room level, including contract work, part-time and full-time vacancies, job-shares as well as working from home roles. So whether spouses are looking for a job locally or want to find work that is flexible or based from home so that they can fit it around children, postings or deployments, Recruit for Spouses helps.
Joining is free, we offer our members CV writing/job interview mentoring and invite them to benefit from a collaboration with Dress for Success, a charity that helps to boost confidence though style advice.
