Signing of the armed forces covenant

We are proud to employ and support military Service Leavers, Veterans, Reservists, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and families members of those.

Through the Ministry of Defence’s Career Transition Partnership and NHS Employer’s own ‘Step into Health’ programme, we actively seek to encourage and support armed forces people to consider United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust when they transition from the military into civilian employment.

We welcome job applications from the Armed Forces community, including military spouses, and are committed to providing a supportive environment throughout your career with us.

On Wednesday 15 March 2017 the Trust was honoured to sign the armed forces covenant and is also proud to be a co-signatory of the Lincolnshire Armed Forces Covenant.

‘The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served, and their families, are treated fairly. We are working with businesses, local authorities, charities and community organisations to support the forces through services, policy and projects.’ (Gov.uk website)

On Wednesday 20 September 2017 the Trust proudly became a co-signatory of the Lincolnshire Armed Forces Covenant, which was signed at RAF Cranwell.

Pictured below are representatives from the armed forces and the Lincolnshire organisations who have signed the Lincolnshire Armed Forces Covenant. We seek to actively promote and deliver our covenant commitments in partnership with the other stakeholders of the Lincolnshire Armed Forces Covenant.

In June 2021, ULHT resigned the Armed Forces Covenant to re-pledge its support to Armed Forces personnel and their families. Find out more in our latest news story.
