Our organisation and our staff are proud to support the Armed Forces community.
We are a veteran-aware and reservist-friendly organisation and welcome applications from Veterans, Reservists, Cadet Instructors, and family members of serving personnel.
Accredited as a Veteran Aware organisation by the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA), this recognises the quality of the service that the Trust provides to the armed forces community, ensuring that those who serve, or who have served, in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.
Originally, an NHS England-funded initiative, OpCOMMUNITY is an easily accessible point of contact with a dedicated email and phone number to support the Armed Forces community as a whole. This includes Serving (Regulars and Reservists) and Ex-Service Personnel, immediate family members and carers of those from within His Majesty’s Armed Forces.
