Celebrating the achievements of employers and individuals that have championed the Step into Health programme.

32

Today we are here to celebrate the work of NHS organisations that have pledged to support the Step into Health programme, and the successes of veterans and their families who have been employed through it.

It’s an opportunity to acknowledge good practice across the country and to thank those who continue to build upon, and strengthen the relationship between the NHS and the Armed Forces community, both of which are such vital pillars of our national life.

This event is a celebration of your dedication and commitment to promoting the NHS as a credible workplace for the Armed Forces community, and promoting members of this community as an asset to the NHS workforce.

This is our first celebration of this kind, and we are delighted at the calibre of our shortlist. Whether you take home an award or not, I want to congratulate you on all the inspiring work you have put in to supporting the Step into Health programme. I look forward to celebrating your success with you.

South Tyneside and Sunderland is a proud supporter of the Step into Health programme. Through hosting events, the trust has successfully recruited five veterans who have become valued team members and ambassadors at their trust. One employee now has aspirations to undertake nursing training.

The organisation was one of the first to support employing spouses of serving members of the Armed Forces. By offering flexible roles that work with the commitments of their partners, the trust has been able to retain valued members of staff and provide adequate support.

Job descriptions are currently being reviewed to remove the requirement for NHS service, to help open up opportunities to veterans. The trust’s Armed Forces Champion, who is also the director of HR and OD, helps advise managers and convert military experience into understandable terms, and champions the programme as an executive director with senior colleagues.

The trust is a founder member of the North East NHS Armed Forces Network and representatives attend the Sunderland Armed Forces Network meeting to continually share their experience of Step into Health, highlighting the interventions they have put in place to support veterans into employment. The trust has also welcomed wounded, injured and sick personnel from the Armed Forces Recovery Centre to attend a day of learning, which included sharing the story of a veteran employee who joined the trust after attending a similar event. They are currently exploring working with an independent charity to offer further placements for members of the Armed Forces community.

The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust has taken a personal approach to the Step into Health programme, tailoring support to suit individuals’ needs. The trust’s dedicated Armed Forces Champion coordinates all contact and requests from the Armed Forces community, providing support and advice through shadowing opportunities, placements or visits, to allow them to gain insight into the NHS.

Working with existing workforce veterans, reservists and dependants, via their Armed Forces engagement celebration events, the trust has encouraged support through buddying with new appointees from the Armed Forces community.

Through the Step into Health programme, the trust has managed to appoint to some of the organisation’s harder-to-fill posts, by encouraging managers to look at transferrable skills of service leavers. Using recruitment fairs, the trust has encouraged Armed Forces members to explore NHS employment and has engaged with potential employees, using a tailored approach that offers guidance and details of any vacancies.

Working with the Wolverhampton Covenant Board, the trust has shared information about Step into Health with the broader employment community in Wolverhampton. The Armed Forces Champion has also contributed to webinars, shared support and advice with other NHS trusts.

Having developed a good working relationship with the regional Army career transition officer, the trust has gained a better understanding of the needs and expectations of service leavers.This has seen the trust support a number of service personnel during their transition period, offering them guidance and information on pathways towards gaining additional qualifications.

Since signing up to the programme in 2017, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has progressively embedded the Step into Health pledge across the organisation. Using a dedicated web section on Armed Forces recruitment, the trust demonstrates its commitment and encourages applicants to contact the trust directly.

As well as delivering three well-attended insight days in conjunction with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, the trust has also developed an Armed Forces film documenting the benefits of employing veterans and reservists. The film features the trust’s own Armed Forces employees, who provide first-hand experiences and help ensure the value of employing veterans is understood from ward to board.

The trust actively encourages placements from veterans at any time in their career, not just through insight days, allowing veterans to get in touch whenever they feel ready to explore career opportunities. The trust continues to lead the way and share good practice, including engaging with the local ambulance trust to support them to undertake the Step into Health programme, and inviting a local acute trust to one of their insight days.

Employees and staff continue to share their experiences, with one employee speaking at an NHS Employers regional event to share their successful transition into the NHS, and a member of the HR staff taking part in a webinar to share experience from a HR perspective.

The trust continues to work collaboratively, building strong relationships with their local Army reserve unit and the Career Transition Partnership, with whom they liaise to promote insight days and attend careers fairs.

Kim Nurse is the Step into Health and military board champion at West Midlands Ambulance Service and has been pivotal in securing programme buy-in from the board. The programme is very close to Kim’s heart, as she is the spouse of a serving soldier. Having recognised that the trust didn’t have a programme infrastructure in place, Kim led a review of the whole Step into Health process, selling the vision to all. She faced numerous challenges along the way, such as conflicting demands on resources and budgets. She has also been the driving force for the success of the organisation’s health and wellbeing programme.

Kim initiated new recruitment practices that embedded Step into Health into all recruitment campaigns, raising the profile of the programme both internally and externally.

She regularly attends military events and proactively shares good practice with others. In addition, she has been instrumental in developing a trust military network. Before the network there were around 30 known reservists and ex-military personnel, now it stands at 164.

Kim has high standards and great credibility. Her drive, passion and determination has seen attitudes change internally, and the trust is very much seen as pro-military.

Sarah is the recruitment lead and head of resourcing at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Sarah has taken the trust from the highest vacancy rate to one of the lowest across London within two years. She has proactively engaged with clinical and operational management, showing how the Armed Forces community can add value. In addition, she has enabled more than 25 staff to become reservists.

She has championed Step into Health at senior level, securing the trust chair as a lead to front all activities both externally and internally. She has also raised the profile of the programme with recruitment managers and influenced behaviour change.

Sarah has actively promoted job roles to both those currently serving, veterans and families, developing new recruitment partnerships to promote opportunities and events. She led a successful application to gain the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award and was also instrumental in the trust signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

Sarah has passionately promoted opportunities through a variety of Armed Forces networks and supported members of the Armed Forces community. She has delivered activities including two Step into Health insight events attended by more than 40 Armed Forces personnel, tailored work placements, and shadowing. This resulted in the direct recruitment of a military captain to a service manager position in theatres.

Victoria is the Armed Forces Champion at St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals and has been incredibly supportive and positive about the Step into Health programme both locally and nationally. She has been instrumental in changing policies and recruitment practices to make them more Armed Forces friendly.

She organised the trust’s first Military Careers Insight Day and helped other trusts to plan similar events. Victoria always makes time for people, providing one-to-one support. She has worked tirelessly to support more than 30 individuals considering an NHS career and is passionate about supporting personnel from the Armed Forces community, including spouses, through Step into Health.

She has been actively involved in driving forward engagement, including facilitating collaborative working with other trusts across the region and providing guidance. Victoria has enabled the local reserve units to become increasingly visible by promoting events and recruitment opportunities.

Victoria has also worked with the British Legion and Veterans HQ, and attended various community groups. She was instrumental in the trust being awarded Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, working closely with wider Armed Forces community stakeholders.

Victoria had no previous experience of the Armed Forces before taking on the role of Armed Forces Champion. However, she relished the challenge and quickly learned a huge amount about the community – some people now assume she is a veteran herself!

After developing Step into Health in 2014, Norfolk and Norwich Foundation Trust’s focus has evolved from the acute sector to working collaboratively with other partners in the region.

As the programme has matured, so have the trust’s relationships with partners of the Norfolk regional partnership. This includes organisations within the NHS and social care sector, as well as associated partners such as Serco, East of England Ambulance Service and adult social services at Norfolk County Council, among others.

To support this collaborative working, the organisations meet regularly through collective information mornings, where attendees review the Step into Health programme, provide feedback from participants, and offer candidates any opportunities to undertake work experience across the organisations.

Working collaboratively on joint social media marketing has helped increase the number of enquiries and interest in the information days. Through this partnership approach, the whole region has been encouraged to support service leavers and has been able to provide a range of different perspectives of career opportunities available within the health service.

By working collaboratively, Norfolk and Norwich has formed unique partnerships with stakeholders and the social care sector, as well as increasing the support and opportunities available to them and the Armed Forces community.

Ashford and St Peter’s has been a shining example to other organisations within the Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System (ICS) of what military personnel can offer the NHS and the success they can achieve with career pathways. With the chief executive, chairman and chief nurse all being ex-military personnel, the trust is itself an example of the successful transition of military personnel into the NHS.

Working as a collective with Surrey Heartlands ICS, the trust has taken on the Step into Health programme across its organisations. The driver behind this collaboration has been the Surrey Heartlands Workforce Advisory Board, chaired by Ashford’s chief executive Suzanne Rankin.

The ICS has delivered six insight days aimed at serving personnel, veterans and spouses. The days are led by Ashford’s chief executive and chief nurse, who share the stories of their own transition from the military into key leadership roles in the NHS, helping to give military personnel the confidence to make the jump.

These events have led to a number of military personnel taking up shadowing days in an area that interests them. Feedback from individuals has suggested this has been a valuable experience in getting a real feel for the NHS and the opportunities available.

Through collaboration, Ashford has helped organisations across the ICS to open their minds to a more inclusive approach to providing military personnel with opportunities, and has illustrated that providing a foot in the door will see them prosper, shine and have credibility.

As a pilot site for Step into Health, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals was mindful from the start of the need to work collaboratively for the programme to succeed, and to ensure a positive experience for members of the Armed Forces community who wished to engage with the NHS. In 2018, the trust began a collaboration with Leeds Teaching Hospitals to host insight events at each other’s organisations to avoid duplication and provide a better experience for those attending.

Since beginning this collaboration, more organisations from across Yorkshire and the Humber have shown interest in joining them, including other local trusts and ambulance services.

Sheffield is now developing a timetable of insight events across the region, which will allow members of the Armed Forces community to select which events they attend, as well as avoiding any duplication. As part of this, the trust encourages current members of staff with a military background to speak at these events, so they can share their journey and transferable skills.

Sheffield and Leeds have both supported a range of work placements throughout their respective organisations. Their growing partnership with other regional organisations has allowed them to refer individuals to a wider network at different locations, who are equally as willing to support the Armed Forces community. One key aspect of partnership working for Sheffield is that it has allowed a greater understanding of other organisations, and the differences in service delivery that members of the Armed Forces may encounter. This has helped them improve their insight days and work collaboratively, irrespective of differences.

This award recognises an individual from the Armed Forces community who, since being recruited through the Step into Health programme, has made a real impact and difference to their NHS organisation.

This could be at a ward, directorate or developmental level. Without Step into Health, this person may never have found employment within the NHS.

Josh is a trainee nursing associate at the Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT). He is highly qualified and brings a wealth of positive experiences and transferable skills to the trust, including his knowledge around physical healthcare which he gained while in the Royal Army Medical Corp. As a result of his military training and his previous role as a combat medical technician, Josh brings a sense of order and stability during difficult times in the working environment.

His motivation and encouragement is appreciated by both patients and staff, and his can-do attitude is a breath of fresh air. In March 2019 he gained a place on the trainee nursing associate programme through Keele University and MPFT.

Josh has taken the time to speak to many serving and retiring members of the Armed Forces with a view to encouraging them to apply for a role, sharing his experiences and journey so far. He has also engaged with a number of different forums including the trust board, which has enabled Josh to increase awareness of the positive aspects of recruiting former military personnel.

The wealth of knowledge, experience and skills alongside his ability to create and maintain excellent professional relationships makes Josh an outstanding asset and ambassador for the Step into Health programme.

Carl was formerly a soldier and an officer in the Army, and was also the first member of staff to be employed through the Step into Health programme. He now works as an HR systems and governance lead for St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. He brings many transferable skills including leadership and management, teamwork and a tenacious desire to get things done, which proves pivotal in the projects he manages. His experience of perpetual change in the Army means that he is able to adapt and respond quickly. Carl sees opportunities for efficiencies in both cost, time and quality that are hugely welcome to the trust. He has managed the introduction of a number of HR systems that have changed the way in which the HR directorate now conducts their day-to-day activities, making considerable cost savings and streamlining processes. Carl’s transition has been relatively smooth considering he spent 32 years in the Army. He actively supports colleagues and makes a real impact and difference to the HR directorate. It is a testament to himself that he has coped so well with a new employer, new ways of doing things and a new culture. Carl proactively engages with the Armed Forces community and service personnel who are considering a career in the NHS and fosters collaborative working in order to mutually support each other.

David is a radiology engineer at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and has successfully used his previous knowledge, skills and experience gained within the RAF to shape his own role in the NHS. His transition from the RAF to the NHS has been positive.

David integrated well into his new role, with the shared values and ways of working making it straightforward for David to join the NHS immediately after leaving the RAF.

David has taken on additional engineering activities previously carried out by the radiography team, which has been of benefit to both radiology and other departments. He is a valued member of the team and able to undertake many tasks independently, with many successes that have exceeded expectations.

Quality and safety are two strengths David has brought with him from his previous Armed Forces experience, working in highly dangerous environments such as aircraft engineering and radiation safety. He has been able to use his knowledge and understanding to improve working processes and procedures within the trust.

David has discussed and shared his transition journey with current serving RAF and ex-RAF colleagues. He has also created a case study on his experience of the Step into Health programme and his story is used at Step into Health information days to encourage others to work for the NHS.
