Powys County Council Deputy Leader and Armed Forces Champion, Councillor Matthew Dorrance said:
"The County Council has long been a supporter of the armed forces but this scheme goes above and beyond our Armed Forces Covenant with practical help for veterans.
"We know that finding a role in civilian life can be a challenging experience and I am delighted that we can guarantee an interview for veterans as part of our normal recruitment process.
"Veterans offer a wealth of talent with transferable skills at a time when the council is looking to strengthen its workforce. We can help veterans find meaningful employment and attract candidates for our vacancies - it is a win-win situation.
"We have recently been in discussions with the Career Transition Partnership to support this initiative and all appropriate vacancies are now advertised on this site".
