Lincolnshire Community Health Services

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

LCHS as a Trust, are committed to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and proactively support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Reservists, Veterans and Military Families that work for us contribute to our delivery of great quality of care to patients across Lincolnshire.

We are a committed supporter of those who are seeking employment and of those who are already within our workforce.

We are currently silver award holders and with our continued commitment to incorporate the standards and goals outlined in the Armed Forces Covenant, we are working hard towards reaching gold in the next 12 months to be better equipped at supporting the whole Armed Forces community.

We will support spouses and partners of military personnel with our flexible working opportunities.

About us

At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in LCHS’ workforce. 

LCHS recognises the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices in order to accommodate the personal goals and commitments that employees experience at different stages during their working lives.  Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments.  Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members, enabling the Trust to recruit and retain skilled staff, raise staff morale, reduce absenteeism and respond to changing service needs more effectively.
