Capita is a consulting, transformation and digital services business. We’re driven by our purpose: to create better outcomes – for our employees, clients and customers, suppliers and partners, investors, and society. We’re committed to being a responsible business in how we operate, serve society, respect our people and the environment, and deliver attractive returns to our investors.
Every day we help millions of people, by delivering innovative solutions to transform and simplify the connections between businesses and customers, governments and citizens. We partner with clients and provide them with the insight and cutting-edge technologies that give time back, allowing them to focus on what they do best and making people’s lives easier and simpler.
We recognise that we have the opportunity to be a force for good, helping to address global challenges and making a positive contribution to society. That’s why we’re proud to have signed the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. We recognise the experience, insight and opinions that ex-service personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families can bring to our business. Your military expertise can also allow us to better understand the defence sector and to build new solutions tailored to the Armed Forces.
Working in the military offers you a wealth of transferrable skills which you can use when you leave. You could join us in anything from engineering to facilities management, project management to cyber security, IT development to networking and infrastructure, or you could use your experience to become a team leader or manager. Whatever your area of expertise, you’ll be able to apply what you’ve learned, bring your own unique perspective and help shape the future of our business.
Capita was one of the early signatories to the Corporate Covenant in 2014 the same year in which the company was awarded the Employer Recognition scheme Silver Award. In 2019 Jon Lewis, Capita’s chief executive, re-signed the Covenant as a demonstration of our continued commitment to being a Reserves supportive employer and in 2021 we were awarded the Employer Recognition Gold Award.
In addition to recording and supporting UK Armed Forces Reservists within our workforce, through formal HR policies, we also have a strong track record in recruiting from the ranks of both Service Veterans and Military Families. The Career Transition Partnership is the MOD’s pathway to civilian life and we’re actively engaged with CTP in the re-employment of service personnel, as well as more informally mentoring those in transition.
Capita also supports Service Charities and is a major sponsor of “Force Atlantic”, the Army’s entry into the 2019/20 Atlantic Challenge Rowing race completed in a remarkable 37 days 13 hours and 53 minutes.
