SA Group

SA Group is a fast-growing business consultancy where over 60% of the 42 employees are military veterans. It provides cybersecurity, project and programme management and technical services. SA Group combines delivery excellence with specialist technical capabilities.

To recruit more veterans, SA Group advertises in military media, attends jobs fairs and partners with organisations supporting service leavers. Its tailored recruitment process quickly engages candidates, like the ex-forces employee impressed by the fast response after submitting his CV.

SA Group values veterans' unique skills and publicises their contributions externally and internally. Growth opportunities include professional development programmes, leadership training and a structured career progression system open to all. Competitive salaries are offered at all levels, with training and mentoring from senior colleagues to progress. As an employee-owned trust, staff benefit from tax-free bonuses.

Flexible working arrangements suit employees nationwide. Hybrid home/office options are supported. SA Group recognises the value of continuing the military community spirit through team building and social events. An ex-forces employee highlighted the supportive culture and excellent work-life balance.

Transition support includes training, mentoring, resources and accommodation assistance. Reservists are committed to, balancing military and employee roles.

External training and professional qualification funding is available, including an Enterprise Partnership with the Institution of Engineering and Technology for online resources and networking. An employee praised the gentle start, induction training and additional qualifications offered.

SA Group's Gold Employer Recognition Scheme award recognises its veteran resettlement support. A dedicated manager arranges transition assistance and liaises with recruitment. The trustworthy approach provides support only when needed, welcomed by an employee after the military. Comparable benefits, plus the employee trust, make ex-forces staff feel valued and supported through the crucial transition.

In summary, SA Group's veteran-dominated workforce, growth opportunities, flexibility, community spirit, development funding and resettlement support provide an excellent environment for service leavers to thrive. Its understanding culture eases transition from the military.
