Employment opportunities for ex-service personnel

Employment opportunities for ex-service personnel

Working in partnership with The Poppy Factory – an organisation that supports injured ex-service personnel – we were able to offer a six-month work placement to Jackson Simatej.

Jackson had served for nine years in the Royal Navy, and joined TfL as a Project Support Officer, where during his placement., Jackson’s manager found him to have “proved to be an outstanding and dedicated member of the team”

Reflecting on the experience, Jackson says,

“My transition back to the civilian world was a massive challenge. It has always been my aspiration to work in London. The placement opportunity was one I could not miss.

I immediately discovered that the skills I had amassed in the Royal Navy were transferable to my new role.

The guidance, support and training I received, from my mentors and TfL staff, have been second to none. I look forward to helping other veterans and serving members of HM Forces to integrate into TfL in the future.”

We’re proud to say that since his placement Jackson secured a permanent role as an Assistant Project Manager with us.
