M&S will be holding sessions for ex-military personnel over the autumn, to display the careers it offers across the company.
The events will be held on 30 September at the retailer’s office in Salford Quays, Manchester, on 1 October at its Castle Donnington distribution centre, and on 2 October at its London Support Centre at Waterside House, The Grocer reported.
The food and fashion specialist is collaborating with the official provider of armed forces resettlement, the Career Transition Partnership, to showcase careers across areas including finance, retail management, HR, procurement, logistics, and digital and technology.
Those who attend will meet the retailer’s talent acquisition team, who will provide personalised advice on applying.

Posting on LinkedIn on 1 September, M&S said: “We’re proud to be hosting a series of in-person events this autumn for service leavers, veterans, reservists, and military spouses, designed to showcase the breadth of careers at M&S and help make the transition into civilian work a smooth and exciting journey.
“In partnership with the career transition partnership (CTP), our talent acquisition team, our friends at Gist Ltd and the M&S forces community network will be on hand to share their career tips and first-hand stories from colleagues who’ve successfully made the move from military to M&S.”
In July, M&S resumed online recruitment almost three months after it was forced to pause the process following the cyber-attack in April. The business held walk-in recruitment days in June to fill vacant store staff positions while its online portal was unable to take applications.
