When I first spoke to Yolk they explained in full the job even though it wasn’t something I was originally looking for and off the back of this made me think this was something that had potential! After putting me forward for the job, Yolk have been nothing but supportive and very professional. I always feel like they are there to help and support and any queries that I have they've got answers for me.

After a 15-year military career, followed by more than 20 in the police, the thought of venturing outside of these environments was one that filled me with dread. I’d never needed a CV and selection procedures were not the same in my world as they were in the outside world – I feared I would be type cast and for that reason it was easy to stay with what I knew. That was until I took a call from the Public Sector & Not-for-Profit team of ...
