Arcus in the Community
Through our Arcus in the Community initiative, we will assist care leavers by delivering redecoration projects to those who are in need of e.g. painting and decorating, carpentry, fitting blinds etc. This support will be available to young people who are moving into independent living.
Employment Opportunities
We have a wide range of employment opportunities that young people can access.
Care leavers can regularly check Arcus Careers website for all our current vacancies: https://careers.arcusfm.com/
Arcus FM will provide additional support to applicants. For example, if you see a role you are potentially interested in applying for, but you don’t hold a CV, we can provide guidance on how to produce a CV. If you have any questions about any of our vacancies, we can talk you through each role to help you understand it in more detail, and we can guide you through Arcus FM’s job application process. To access any of this support please email Recruitment@ArcusFM.com.
Once you are ready to submit an application to any of our jobs, please be sure to select ‘Care Leaver’ from the drop-down option.
