Talking Blues is looking for an Irish and Scottish officers or former officers who would be interested in taking on a franchise
August 13th, 2009Talking Blues is the market leading police recruitment training company, running on average about 45 courses a year. Operating since 2001 in England and Wales, we now wish to meet officers, former officers or police recruitment support staff, from Ireland and Scotland who would be interested in starting a Talking Blues franchise in that area. Following the established and proven Talking Blues model, you will need the following skills;
An excellent knowledge of the police recruitment system (obviously!)
The ability to coach and develop people in an interesting way appropriate to their needs.
The ability to get your point across ina humorous and informative fashion.
The strength of character to give development advice to students in an open and honest way, whether it is good or bad!
The Talking Blues philosophy is not to mollycoddle people, our role is to get them through the process. If they need a shove to wake them up to something they are doing, then we provide it if it will make them pass. If you can do all this in an informative manner, and keep peoples attention for ten hours, whilst ideally making them laugh every now and then, you could be our type of guy or girl.
These abilities are more important than your background. Many police trainers can be lazy, relying on patronising material from NPIA, and just working for the money. That will not be you. You will want not just the financial rewards but also the satisfaction when at the end of a course, all the students want to shake your hand and say thanks. Incidentally, We have no interest in political correctness, all of our students are equal, our role is to make their aspirations become reality.
This is a great opportunity to stay involved with the police, yet run effectively your own business and have all the benefits of being responsible for your own success.
If this may be you, please email our managing Director, John McTaggart, at john.mctaggart@talkingblues.co.uk
