Made by us, to serve us.
Our mission is to empower veterans of the Armed Forces and emergency services, regardless of nationality, by providing them with meaningful opportunities to advance their careers in the UAE and the wider GCC. We are committed to building a trusted network that connects highly skilled individuals with employers who value their unique expertise, discipline, and dedication.
Rooted in the principles of community and trust, we aim to support veterans and first responders by connecting them with well-remunerated, meaningful employment opportunities that recognise and reward their unique skills and experience, whether they are newly transitioning from service or already established in civilian life.
Whilst our focus lies predominantly in the security sector, we remain inclusive of all industries, offering tailored support to help veterans and first responders showcase their capabilities to prospective employers.

Led by Veterans, for Veterans
Our team consists of former armed forces and emergency services personnel who understand the unique challenges of transitioning to civilian careers.
Jack Reed
Founder
UAE-Vetwork was founded by Jack, a former British Army Officer who transitioned into a career in finance in the UAE. The inspiration for the platform came when a former colleague—also a veteran working for a local defence firm—was unexpectedly let go and struggled to find new employment, despite his extensive skills and experience. Witnessing this first-hand, Jack was struck by the absence of a dedicated support network for the many veterans and service-experienced professionals living and working across the GCC. UAE-Vetwork was created to change that—connecting highly skilled individuals from the armed forces and emergency services with employers who value their discipline, dedication, and expertise.
