Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS)

Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS)

We are pleased to maintain our Military link and be members of the Armed Forces Covenant and current holders of the Silver Award in the Employer Recognition Scheme. 

We regularly hold training sessions for our Military's veterans and their family's, often free of any charge. We also assist with employment needs and job searches. 

If you are a veteran, or a member of a service family or a veteran organisation and if think we could help you in anyway, please reach out.

Silver award

Silver award holders:

  • must have signed the Armed Forces Covenant
  • the employer must already be accredited as a holder of ERS Bronze Award and held it with sufficient time to develop suitable plans and policies and evidence to support the ERS Silver application. The employer must proactively demonstrate that service personnel and the armed forces community are not unfairly disadvantaged as part of their recruiting and selection processes
  • the employer must actively ensure that their workforce is aware of their positive policies towards defence people issues. For example, an employer nominated for support to the Reserves must have an internally publicised and positive HR policy on Reserves
  • within the context of Reserves the employer must have demonstrated support to mobilisations or have a framework in place. They must demonstrate support to training by providing at least 5 days’ additional unpaid/paid leave (wherever possible not to Reservist employees’ financial disadvantage)
  • the employer must not have been the subject of any negative PR or media activity
  • the employer should demonstrate support to the Cadet movement as a whole by providing proactive support to individual cadets and/or to local cadet units
