Progress Care

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Progress are proud to work closely with the Armed Forces and their families by recognising the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business and to our country. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by publicising these commitments as shown through our Progress values and throughout our website.

We are an Armed Forces-friendly organisation supporting the employment of veterans. Progress consider military skills and qualifications in our recruitment and selection process and acknowledge any additional employment support that is needed. This support extends to Service spouses and partners by offering flexibility  during and after a partner’s deployment where possible.

At Progress we believe in wellbeing at work offering emotional support and advice to all our staff.  This includes additional leave for annual Reserve Forces training, supporting any mobilisations and deployment.

Progress are committed to the Armed Forces Covenant, so if you are a veteran, military reservist or thinking about leaving the armed forces, please visit our website for further information.

We pride ourselves on enabling a more ordinary life to be experienced through extra-ordinary service delivery, with the people we support being the heart of everything we do.

We are passionate about developing our staff and their individual careers. We secured the Gold Investors in People Award, with 84% of staff agreeing we are ‘developing great leaders.’
