Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:

• promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation;

• via NHS Employers, working in partnership with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) to support the employment of veterans young and old.

• endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner's deployment.

• seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible.

• supporting those members of staff who would like to participate in Armed Forces Day; by offering flexibility on shift rotas and flexibility of annual leave, if arranged in advance.

OUHFT publicise these commitments through our website setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
