SUPPORT FOR THE ARMED FORCES COMMUNITY

Championing Armed Forces personnel past and present

armed-hero

In 2018 we signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant, pledging our support to the Armed Forces community and committing to treat those who have served, or continue to do so, with fairness and respect. Here are some of the ways we’re doing this…

Careers for Ex-military

We know from experience that ex-service personnel offer a raft of highly transferrable skills and personal qualities, often honed in demanding conditions. So, as well as simply being the right thing to do, we welcome job applications from veterans, guaranteeing a first-round interview and providing additional training and support, if successful.

A Force-friendly Employer

We also support colleagues who serve as part of the Reserves. Force-friendly policies include 10 days paid leave for reservists to train, as well as support for mobilisation, if called upon. For Cadet Force volunteers, we provide additional leave, flexible working, mentoring and funding for local cadet units.

Awards

We are proud holders of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award. This prestigious award underpins our long-standing history with the British Military, and our commitment to always treat members of the Armed Forces Community with fairness and respect.
