Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Northampton General Hospital is dedicated to upholding the Armed Forces Covenant by supporting forces family members. Our commitment involves providing opportunities and support to spouses, partners, and family members of serving personnel. Through our Family and Friends Jobs (FFJ) initiative, we offer employment opportunities tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of forces families. This includes flexible working arrangements and understanding of the challenges they may face due to their connection with the military. We recognise the sacrifices and contributions of forces families and strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for them within our organisation.

About us

Northampton General Hospital, a major employer in the region, is undergoing an exciting transformation aimed at improving efficiency and modernising its operations. It has formed a Group Model with Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, collectively known as University Hospitals of Northamptonshire. The organisation is guided by its Excellence Values: Compassion, Accountability, Respect, Integrity, and Courage.

In its recruitment efforts, the hospital aims to attract top talent to deliver services across the University Hospitals of Northamptonshire and foster a culture of unleashing potential. Emphasising inclusive communication, it actively promotes job opportunities to diverse communities.

The hospital is supportive of defence personnel, including reservists, veterans, spouses, and partners. It encourages applications from underrepresented groups, particularly those from BAME, Disabled, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds, and recognises the importance of fostering inclusivity and collaboration among colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

To promote inclusivity and support, the hospital has established active networks that cater to colleagues from all backgrounds, ensuring everyone feels valued and supported while working for Kettering and Northampton General Hospitals.
