The five pledges
Pledging to Step into Health involves making a public commitment to support the recruitment of members of the Armed Forces community into the NHS.
There are five pledges that we require organisations to commit to:
- Reviewing recruitment practices and removing any barriers to recruiting members of the Armed Forces community.
- Sharing dedicated Step into Health contact details.
- Building a relationship with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP).
- Using the Step into Health branding to promote consistent messages about the programme.
- Using the Step into Health candidate system to record interactions with potential candidates and to refer between NHS organisations as required.
