At Sutton House, we are honoured to stand as signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant, pledging our steadfast support to those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, as well as their families.
We are dedicated to ensuring they are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect in recognition of their selfless commitment to the nation.
Key Pledges
Employment Support
We are committed to facilitating the seamless transition of veterans into civilian careers, recognising their exceptional leadership, strategic thinking, and resilience. Sutton House actively promotes veteran employment by:
- Offering tailored career guidance, mentoring, and development programmes to bridge the gap between military and civilian workplaces.
- Providing opportunities that make full use of veterans’ transferable skills, ensuring their invaluable contributions are recognised and rewarded.
- Creating a supportive environment where veterans can thrive, grow, and feel a sense of belonging.
- Veterans bring unparalleled expertise, and we are proud to integrate their skills and experiences into our operations.
Support for Military Families
We understand the unique challenges faced by military families, particularly the spouses and partners of serving personnel. Frequent relocations and deployments can make sustaining a career challenging, and we are dedicated to providing meaningful support by:
- Offering flexible working arrangements to accommodate the demands of military life.
- Providing employment opportunities and career development tailored to the needs of spouses and partners.
- Ensuring our policies reflect the resilience and sacrifices made by military families, enabling them to achieve their goals while balancing family responsibilities.
Our approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, ensuring that military families feel supported and empowered.
Reservist Support
We recognise the critical role of Reservists in national defence and are committed to supporting their dual commitments to civilian careers and military service. At Sutton House, we:
- Provide flexibility in work schedules to accommodate training and deployment needs.
- Offer additional leave for Reservist duties, ensuring they can meet their commitments without unnecessary pressure.
- Celebrate and recognise the skills, discipline, and leadership qualities that Reservists bring to our workplace.
- Our policies are designed to make it easier for Reservists to balance their responsibilities, allowing them to excel in both roles.
A Veteran-Focused Approach
At Sutton House, veterans are at the heart of what we do. Their unique perspectives, gained through service, are deeply embedded into our operations and help drive innovation and success across our core sectors, including Defence, Security, Health, and Emerging Technologies. Their expertise and strategic thinking enable us to deliver bespoke solutions to our clients and partners.
Beyond the Workplace
Our commitment to the Armed Forces community extends far beyond employment:
- Charity Partnerships: We collaborate with military charities to support veterans and their families with essential services, such as mental health support, housing assistance, and career training.
- Awareness Campaigns: We actively raise awareness of the contributions and challenges faced by the Armed Forces, fostering understanding and appreciation across society.
- Community Engagement: Sutton House encourages employees to participate in volunteering and initiatives that directly support veterans and military families, strengthening the bonds between civilian and military communities.
Building a Lasting Impact
Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant is more than just words; it is woven into the fabric of our organisation. By providing opportunities, offering tailored support, and recognising the unique value of those who serve, we aim to build a future that honours their contributions and ensures their success in civilian life.
At Sutton House, we believe it is our responsibility – and our privilege – to stand by the Armed Forces community, creating a workplace and society that respects, supports, and empowers them to thrive.
