Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

As a civilian trainer my love is seeing a horse’s confidence develop.

 

• Is there anything you’d like to improve?

I have never been a competitive or show rider but my perseverance and consistency has enabled me to support the Met with remounts over the last 20 years.

 

• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?

I genuinely care and my work ethic is good. If I was to stay within the police service either as a trainer or groom my previous work experience would hopefully speak for itself. The other role that would interest me would potentially be within an equine college as I have through voluntary work gained experience of working with young people.

 

Requirements

• What would you like to do or gain in your next job?

I feel with my experience I would be well suited to a management/supervisory role, however I would be happy to continue as a trainer/groom. I would like ideally to stay within the police/civil service. Alternatively an equine college role would also be of interest to me.

 

• Do you need accommodation?

Potentially for a short time if this is available, as I would be hoping to relocate.

 

• Do you have any special requirements for any animals you wish to bring with you?

No.

 

• Do you have any ongoing commitments? I do have a dog but would have to employ a dog walker if the role did not allow dogs at the workplace.

 

• Do you have any holidays booked that an employer needs to know of?

No.
