Defence Employer Recognition Scheme – Gold Award

Bury Council has been awarded a gold award in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.

The highest level achievable, the award is in recognition of the council being a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant and demonstrating its commitment to supporting military veterans and reservists in society and in employment with the council.

This includes:

  • Recognising military veterans as a protected characteristic and giving this group the same attention and protections that we would for all protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010
  • Marking events and raising awareness relating to military veterans and reservists throughout the year
  • Providing special leave for our colleagues who are reservists to attend military training
  • A commitment to holding open the job of colleagues who are reservists and have been called up to serve in military action
  • Working with the armed forces career transition partnership to advertise our vacant roles with military veterans due to leave military service
  • Offering a guaranteed interview to military veterans who meet the full essential criteria for roles they apply for

Councillor Richard Gold, cabinet member for finance and communities, said: “We are rightly proud of our military heritage in Bury, and delighted to be recognised for the support we give our military veterans and reservists.”
