What We’re Offering to Care Leavers
We are proud to offer care leavers a dedicated and supportive route into employment at ISS.
Jobs and Career Opportunities
We will advertise 100 percent of our entry-level roles on the Care Leaver Covenant’s Connects job board. This ensures care leavers can easily find and apply for available roles.
Tailored Support
Our Resourcing and Employability teams will support care leavers throughout the hiring process. We will deliver a full induction aligned with the ISS way of working, maintain clear communication, and encourage participation in employee resource groups focused on inclusion and belonging.
We will also provide access to career-building tools including apprenticeship pathways and development opportunities.
You will be welcomed into a supportive environment where your individual needs and goals are recognised.
For example, Maria joined ISS in a front of house / reception role in 2021. After one year Maria started an apprenticeship in Business Development and now works in our London Head Office in the commercial team working on large bids for the company. Her journey shows that given the right opportunity anyone can develop and progress in the organisation.
