HighGround

Welcome to the HighGround Podcast, the definitive guide for service leavers, veterans, and reservists exploring new career opportunities in the land-based sectors. Brought to you by HighGround, a charity dedicated to providing life beyond the military, our podcast is hosted by Jamie Crisp, CEO of HighGround, and Tom Constable, both British Army veterans. Each episode of the HighGround Podcast is designed to help you navigate the transition from military to civilian employment by highlighting potential jobs that align with your skillset. We focus on a specific job role in every episode, split into two insightful segments. In the first half, we chat with a fellow veteran who has successfully made the leap into a new career, sharing their personal journey, challenges, and triumphs. In the second half, we speak with employers who are actively seeking to fill these roles, offering valuable insights into what they are looking for in a candidate and how you can stand out. Our guests provide the voice of experience, offering practical advice, recommendations, and inspiration for your own career path. Whether you're interested in horticulture, forestry, animal care, environmental conservation, or any other land-based sector, the HighGround Podcast is your go-to resource for making informed career decisions. Tune in to equip yourself with the knowledge and motivation needed to embark on a fulfilling career beyond the military, and join a community that values and utilises your unique skills and experiences.
