Supporting Our Veterans: FRFA's Commitment to Ex-Forces Recruitment

Our commitment to supporting ex-forces personnel has not only enriched our organisation, but has also earned us the prestigious Bronze Award from the Armed Forces Covenant.

Recruiting Ex-Forces as First Aid Trainers

Why We Actively Recruit Ex-Forces Personnel

Military service instils exceptional qualities that translate perfectly into civilian roles. Veterans bring a unique blend of leadership, discipline, and adaptability that enhances our workplace culture. Their experience in high-pressure situations, strong work ethic, and ability to work effectively in teams, makes them invaluable assets to our organisation.

Our ex-forces employees consistently demonstrate:

Outstanding problem-solving abilities
Strong organisational skills
Natural leadership capabilities
Unwavering commitment to excellence
Exceptional teamwork and communication skills

It’s these qualities that make veterans exceptional additions to the Impact Futures family. Their presence only enhances every aspect of what we do.

Bronze Award Recognition: Our Commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

The team at First Response First Aid is proud to have received the Bronze Award from the Armed Forces Covenant, recognising our dedication to:

Supporting the employment of veterans and service leavers
Establishing a positive policy toward defence personnel
Ensuring our workforce is aware of our positive stance toward former military staff
Creating a supportive environment for ex-forces employees

This recognition means so much to us. Our organisation prides itself on its policies and support for veterans. This award serves to elevate our ex-forces recruitment efforts going forward.

Our Ongoing Commitment

We intend to continue providing meaningful, civilian careers for these exceptional individuals. Looking ahead, we're dedicated to:

Expanding our ex-forces recruitment initiatives
Developing tailored training programmes for military transitions
Creating mentorship opportunities
Building partnerships with military recruitment organisations

The support we are honoured to provide is vital in helping those with military backgrounds establish strong, sustaining civilian careers. We only stand to gain from one another, and create positive educational experiences for our learners and business partners.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Dan Pedley. We are all in agreement that Dan Pedley's excellent training & fantastic lessons will not be forgotten. In fact, we are all in agreement that we did not want it to end. We have all learned more today than what has ever been taught before on previous first aid courses. So, thank you First Response First Aid, but more importantly thank you Dan Pedley for your supreme, first class training. Keep up the awesome work! August 2018

Very informative and very experienced in his field of work. All equipment was in perfect condition for us to use, please pass my message on to him he is a credit to your company I know where and who to recommend for future courses. Kind regards, Sharon.

Brian & Mick were excellent ! They held my interest by giving a confident presentation and with added humour. They made me feel at ease and well informed. Will definitely recommend. (Lunch was lovely too - I'm calorie counting and there was plenty for me to choose from.)
