The e50K Strategic Advisory Network was formed in 2020 and is committed to exclusively employing partners and spouses from all three services into full, part-time and flexible roles.
Director Quincey Ankrett says: “As Defence spouses and veterans, we follow our serving personnel around the world, leaving behind careers as well as homes, family and friends, which often means we face periods of unemployment, but multiple relocations make Defence veterans and spouses resilient, dedicated, determined and welcoming of diversity.”
e50K Strategic Advisory provides social value and sustainability support to multiple sectors including Defence, security, aerospace and nuclear. Profits from its activities are delivered to its sister company, the e50K community interest company, to provide free events, support and services to Defence families across the UK.
The network has created a new hiring category – micro part-time. Micro parttime refers to those who work fully flexible, ad hoc hours and is modelled on the NHS ‘bank’ network.
It provides pay by the hour roles, offering an agile working pattern to suit a variety of needs. Each member of the network signs a one-year flexi contract and each has a personal development plan to ensure they are progressing in both skills and experience.
This summer it is setting up a new network around its base in Warminster. If you are currently working 80 hours a month or less, live less than 45 minutes from Warminster and want to hear more, get in touch by emailing info@e50k.org.uk
