Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
SFRS recognises the value that serving personnel, reservists, veterans, and military families bring to our organisation. We ensure that as an organisation we uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant.
We continually promote the fact that we are an Armed Forces friendly organisation, seeking to support the employment of veterans of any age. Our Veterans Co-Ordinator regularly attends various events, such as COMMANDO CONNECT, to promote employment opportunities within SFRS. Though our extensive partnership working, SFRS strives to support the employment of Service spouses and partners, endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment.
As an employer of choice, we seek to support our employees who choose to become members of the Reserve Forces, including accommodating their training and deployment, where possible. Supporting our employees who are members of the Cadet Forces, by considering them as Reserve Forces. SFRS has a presence at the Armed Forces Day and provides personnel to attend Remembrance Day Services, throughout Scotland and the UK.
