Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council believes the armed forces community deserves our utmost respect and backing for their outstanding dedication and sacrifices on behalf of our community and country. The demands imposed on them and their families in carrying out their duty are unique – setting them apart from others who serve and protect society.

The Council is determined to fulfil our Covenant obligation by working with our partners to help ensure their:

  • needs are being identified and met;
  • military service doesn’t disadvantage them compared to other citizens; and
  • contribution to our community is remembered, honoured and celebrated.

As an armed-forces friendly employer we recognise the valuable transferable skills and qualities of those who serve and their families, so we welcome their applications for our vacancies.

In addition, the Council has a Veterans’ Guaranteed Interview Scheme for UK’s armed forces’ veterans – guaranteeing an interview to veterans meeting the essential requirements of a job.

We are a Disability Confident employer who currently holds the MOD’s Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.
