For the right person, we will be looking to offer a permanent, long-term position within the charity with opportunity for progression
Employer Description:The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA) is a registered charity (1200949) supporting retired dogs and horses from the police, fire, prison, national crime agency, NHS, border force and MoD Police services by helping with medical and veterinary bills, which inevitably occur as they get older.
When serving dogs and horses careers end, the financial support they have enjoyed whilst working, including food, kennels or stables, medical and veterinary requirements, training and equipment also comes to an end.
Unfortunately, affordable insurance can be difficult to find due to their age and training. This is obviously a worry for handlers who have their own financial obligations, and medical bills can become a real challenge.
As is widely acknowledged, the relationship between a handler and their working partner is second to none, and it is unthinkable the pair may be broken up due to financial pressure. Unfortunately, this does happen, and it causes great distress for the handlers, their families, and of course the animals themselves.
The NFRSA is there to help to ensure these wonderful animals can stay where they belong, with the families they love, as the years advance. It’s the least they deserve when they’ve devoted most of their lives to keeping us, the public, safe.
Since its formation in 2022, the NFRSA has more than 550 members and has provided in excess of £200K of support to retired service animals.
Our job, quite simply, is to ‘Protect Our Protectors’.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, Shifts to be confirmed.Skills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Administrative skills,Number skills,Analytical skills,Logical,Team working,Creative,Initiative....Read more...

You may prefer to focus in a particular area, whether that be sales/operations or office management, in which case we may be able to progress you into a more specific role in the future.Employer Description:Rhino Security has specialised in the perimeter protection of private and commercial property for the last 32 years, establishing itself as a trusted advisor with exceptional levels of customer service. We excel in specifying, supplying, installing and maintaining security posts, bollards and barriers throughout the UK, with the sole aim of delivering peace of mind and deterring criminal activity.
All our security bollard and barrier ranges include products with different specifications and styles so that you can choose items that will deliver on your security and aesthetic requirements, whether that be telescopic or static, manual or automatic. We also stock a range of cycle shelters and stands, as well as crash-rated street furniture solutions.
Our added value comes in the form of a dedicated Aftercare team, coupled with annual maintenance plans which ensure our client’s sites remain secure and fully operational.
A brief history:
Founded in 1992 by George ‘Tony’ Hamerton, our company began with the goal to improve perimeter security for car dealerships across the UK. After an early career working with some of the world’s most recognised automotive brands, Tony spotted a significant gap in the market. Partnering with the Great British Bollard Company (now Marshalls Street Furniture) as the main agent for the East of England, Tony set out to build a business focusing on providing top-quality security solutions.
In his Bedford Rascal van loaded with demonstration bollards, Tony drove across the country and grew his business into a trusted provider. He supplied and installed perimeter security solutions for hundreds of car dealerships, including bollards, barriers, fencing and CCTV. Along the way, he introduced a bollard servicing offering, with Annual Servicing Plans designed to keep our clients’ security solutions in top condition year-round.
For over 30 years, we’ve built a reputation for delivering exceptional customer service, which has led to long-standing, highly valued relationships with many of our clients. Much of our business comes from customers who have trusted us for decades, a testament to our dedication to high-quality service and support.
In 2022, Tony’s son, James, took the helm. James brought a fresh perspective to the business after a successful career in Sales and Project Management in London’s office design and fit-out sector. His goal has been to modernise and expand, ushering the company into its next chapter of growth. This transformation includes adopting new, streamlining technologies, expanding our product range, and enhancing our supplier network to better serve our existing and new customers.
Now, two and a half years into this exciting new era, we’ve grown stronger than ever. With a supply and installation service covering the entirety of the UK, plus shorter lead times thanks to our new warehouse facility, we are ready for the future. Our turnover and headcount in the last two years has also doubled, from £1m-2m and 5-10 respectively.
We are proud to say that while our company continues to evolve, our core values remain unchanged: “Deliver outstanding customer service and always do right by our clients and partners.” This is reflected in our current average customer review ratings of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot and 4.9/5 on Feefo, where we also plant a tree for every review we receive with a minimum of 100 a month.Working Hours :Monday to Thursday, 08:30 - 17:00 (60-minute paid lunch)
