Proud to support the Armed Forces Community
At DHU Healthcare, we proudly stand with those who serve. In 2023, we signed the Armed Forces Covenant, committing to treat all service personnel, veterans, and their families with fairness, respect, and support.
Many of our colleagues are veterans, reservists, or currently serving, and we actively welcome applications from those with military experience.

🔹 No disadvantage for veterans, service leavers, or their families when accessing our services or joining our workforce
🔹 Recognition of the unique skills, discipline, and leadership gained through military service
🔹 A clear and supported pathway into civilian roles, with opportunities for growth and a welcoming culture

Gold Award
We’re proud to have 'Gold Status' in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, which is the highest honour awarded by the Ministry of Defence.
This recognition reflects our outstanding support for serving personnel, veterans, reservists, and their families, as well as our active advocacy for the Armed Forces community, both within DHU and beyond.
We’re proud to be a Veterans Aware-accredited NHS provider, committed to improving access to care for veterans and their families.
This includes raising awareness of dedicated support services, such as Op RESTORE, the NHS Veterans' Physical Health and Wellbeing Service and ensuring that those who have served receive the understanding and care they deserve.
