At the Trust we are proud to employ and support Armed Forces reservists and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers.
Armed Forces Reservists and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers bring a wealth of experience and skills to the organisation and we recognise that this contributes to the delivery of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led patient care.
As a Trust, we actively seek to support our Reservists and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, by providing 10 days extra paid leave to aid with time away on training camps and courses.’
Our reservists have full access to an occupational health service to which they can self-refer in a confidential manner.
Through the Trust’s Armed Forces Staff Network we would actively seek to buddy / mentoring our reservists in preparation for, during and upon return from deployment, should this be appropriate.
The Trust has a close relationship with military reservists in the county, the Royal Anglian Regiment, who along with 2 Operational Support Group RLC, have supported several joint events with our Trust over the past few years.
