Arcus FM drives impact with the Social Value team.

Award-Winning facilities management company Arcus FM delivers outstanding results with their employability schemes that help disadvantaged people get into work.

In 2022, Arcus FM laid out its five-year Social Value Strategy that aims to support the communities in which it operates with improved social, economic and environmental impacts.

The four main under-represented groups that Arcus FM supports as a priority within this strategy are young people with a focus on care leavers, those serving in or soon to be released from prison, ex-services personnel, and individuals with health conditions.

Having built strong relationships with a range of social value partners, Arcus FM was able to offer 72 people employment from April 2022 to March 2023.

Of the 72 individuals to whom job offers were made, 30 had been unemployed for 12 months or longer, seven were returning citizens, three were veterans and ex-service people, two were not in employment, education, or training, and one was a care leaver.

Arcus FM also reports offering 12 individuals work experience and supporting 24 career fairs and employer events including five in-prison work events helping prepare participants to re-enter the workforce upon release.

Arcus FM is committed to increasing year-on-year the number of job offers made, work experience provided, and career coaching to support those within their main priority groups into work.
