HomeLink Healthcare signs Armed Forces Covenant, strengthening commitment to veterans and military families

HomeLink Healthcare is proud to announce that we have officially signed the Armed Forces Covenant—reaffirming our commitment to supporting the UK’s Armed Forces community, including current service members, veterans, and their families. 

By signing the Covenant, HomeLink Healthcare pledges to ensure that those who serve or have served in the armed forces are treated fairly and with respect. This commitment reflects our broader mission to provide compassionate, high-quality healthcare to people in all walks of life, including those who have given so much in the service of our country. 

Our commitment in action 

As a signatory, HomeLink Healthcare will: 

• Veterans: supporting the employment of veterans, recognising military skills and qualifications in our recruitment and selection process. 

• National events: supporting Armed Forces Day, the Poppy Appeal Day and Remembrance activities. 

• Armed forces charities: supporting and promoting Armed Forces charities with fundraising. 

• Dedicated communications: creating dedicated messaging around the Armed Forces Covenant on our website and other channels. 

HomeLink Healthcare Chief Executive Jill Ireland commented: “We are incredibly proud to sign the Armed Forces Covenant. Many of our patients, colleagues, and partners have connections to the Armed Forces, and this pledge formalises our commitment to supporting them in practical, meaningful ways. We believe in building a workforce and healthcare service that values the skills, resilience, and dedication of service personnel and their families.” 

Looking ahead 

Our pledge is not just symbolic—it is backed by action. HomeLink Healthcare will continue to work with veterans’ organisations, local communities, and the NHS to identify opportunities for improving care access and employment pathways for members of the Armed Forces community.
