Fri, 5 Apr 2013Injured former soldier Jaco van Gass has been appointed as candidate manager at SoldierOn!, the Recruiter charity of choice for 2011, which works to bring wounded military veterans into employment.

South African-born Van Gass moved to the UK in 2006 with the sole intention of joining the armed forces, and signed up to the Parachute Regiment, before suffering severe life-changing injuries in a tour of Afghanistan.

The charity now has five full-time staff.
