Who We Are

We are a training organisation and broker. Not an agency.

Voncap works directly with Jobcentres, colleges, and employers across the UK. We focus on getting different groups of job seekers back into meaningful work. We are not just about CVs and interviews — our training includes overcoming mindset barriers, rebuilding confidence, and long-term wellbeing.

Why 45+ & Professionals? The employment rate for UK workers aged 50–64 is 13% lower than those aged 35–49. One-third of the UK workforce is over 50, yet automated hiring software routinely filters out seasoned talent. We fix that at both ends.

Honesty Above All

We value total honesty with our partners (including Jobcentre Plus and Seetec-Plus), with employers, and with learners. No false promises, no inflated placement statistics.

ATS-Proof, Non-Bias CVs

Companies miss great candidates because algorithmic applicant tracking systems screen them out. We build non-bias CVs that navigate ATS filters and showcase your actual capability.

Overcoming Age & Career Barriers

Founded in 2017 by Juliet Trapp (former Director at Age UK), Voncap was specifically designed to support workers aged 45+, career returners, and professionals post-redundancy.

Tailored Placements, Not 'Bodies'

We send no more than 3 CVs per vacancy. 9 times out of 10, our candidate lands the role. We treat people as humans with futures, not names in a corporate recruitment cloud.

Real Learner Outcomes

People who stopped getting ghosted and went back to work.

Our KPIs are simple: testimonials, real work placements, further learning, and outcomes that change lives.

"After 25 years as an operations director, redundancy hit hard. I applied for 60 jobs and didn't get a single human reply. Voncap's Professionals Back to Work course dismantled my CV and rebuilt it for modern ATS. Within a month I was interviewed and hired."
David M.
Former Operations Director → Operations Lead, Logistics Partner
"I was 53 and convinced nobody would hire me after taking two years out for family care. The 50+ MOT course gave me back my self-respect and showed me how to pitch my experience properly. I started my new role three weeks ago."
Margaret E.
50+ MOT Learner → Client Accounts Administrator
"I completed the Dog Walking & Care course plus Canine First Aid. Voncap helped me write a real business plan and connect with initial clients. I am now fully booked through summer and completely self-employed."
Calum S.
Pet Care Graduate → Founder, Paws & Country Pet Services
