Armed Forces Covenant

|
The North East Ambulance Service has pledged to support those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant.
The Covenant focusses on helping members of the Armed Forces to have the same access to government, commercial services and products as any other citizen including education, family well-being, having a home, starting a new career, access to healthcare, financial assistance and discounted services.
As an employer, NEAS has been granted bronze status which means they are open to employing reservists, armed forces veterans (including the wounded, injured and sick), cadet instructors and military spouses/partners.
