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...
