The scheme removes the need for a service leaver to undergo an Access to Work assessment
The Department for Work and Pensions and the Ministry of Defence have launched a new ‘jobs passport’ to help hundreds of sick and disabled Armed Forces leavers start and stay in work. The new Adjustments Passports will support those leaving service with an injury, disability or health condition, move into employment more smoothly.
Commenting on the launch of the scheme, Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Tom Pursglove MP, said: “We know that for people who require workplace adjustments, receiving the right support at the right time can be difficult, especially for service leavers starting a civilian job for the first time.
“Ex-service personnel bring a wealth of skills and experience to the workplace which is why they are in demand. This Adjustments Passport is another step in realising their full potential at work.” Tesco Group Chief Product Officer and Executive Sponsor of the Armed Forces Network, Ashwin Prasad, said: “We’re proud of our Gold Covenant Award status, which recognises our work to support veterans – thousands of whom we’re delighted to call Tesco colleagues.
