Armed Forces Staff Support
Supporting staff from the Armed Forces
We appreciate the valuable skills and cultural values developed by Armed Forces personnel. These skills are a great match for working in the NHS, and we warmly invite job applications from current and former Armed Forces members and their families.
We have policies and practices in place to support the Armed Forces community, such as:
- Ex-forces and veterans
- Serving reservists
- Partners, families, and children
- Adult cadet volunteers
Our support package includes:
- Tailored support before, during, and after Armed Forces Reservist deployments
- Two weeks of special paid leave for annual training commitments for Armed Forces Reservists
- Additional support for colleagues who are family members of Regular and Reserve Armed Forces personnel
Our commitment to being an outstanding Armed Forces employer
We strive to be recognised as an outstanding Armed Forces employer. We value the diverse experiences and transferable skills you bring, whether you are a service leaver, ex-military, or a family member.
Our strong commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant has been recognised through the trust being awarded a prestigious Gold award by the MoD (Ministry of Defence) in July 2022 in recognition of our efforts to become an Armed Forces Friendly Employer.
We’re committed to helping our Veterans caring for their mental and physical health, and supporting their family and carers.
