Exciting roles on land and sea with The Royal NAAFI
Category: Recruitment
Publish date: 29/02/2024
NAAFI has been providing services to personnel based in the UK and overseas for over 100 years. We manage over 20 different services from shops and pubs to catering, cleaning and laundry. We exist to improve the quality of life for our Forces communities around the world, and all of our surpluses are given back to the British Armed Forces via direct welfare contributions, through the NAAFI Fund or investment in enhancing our facilities.
Working for us
We welcome new skills and enthusiasm and are proud of our record of employing and developing family members of our Armed Forces, Service leavers and veterans.
We have multiple roles available across the globe from catering, retail, and soft facilities management, to working onboard Royal Navy ships! These opportunities range from job entry level roles to senior management roles.
Current job vacancies:
We have multiple roles available across the globe:
- Global Mobile Operations Manager – a rotational role working across multiple global locations.
Unaccompanied roles:
- Site Supervisor roles in: Poland, Germany, Bahrain and UAE
- Global Mobile Customer Service roles in: Estonia, RN Ships, Germany
As a result of our ongoing expansion, new roles become available very regularly, particularly in our global management team and our HQ in Whiteley. We offer competitive (and often tax-free) salaries, as well as single accommodation in many locations.
What do these roles involve?
Our job entry roles on RN ships vary from retail, hospitality, kitchen portering and laundry. This role includes global travel and working in alternative overseas locations when not deployed, or on a rotational basis.
Who would they be suitable for?
Anyone who’s interested in travel or in building their CV, as well as those who want time to decide where they’d like to settle and what their next career path might be.
In The Royal NAAFI, we ‘grow our own’, and so we’re keen to find people who we can support and develop to stay with us, long-term.
What skills/qualities/qualifications are required?
In our job entry roles, full training is provided and no experience is necessary. In our overseas supervisory and management roles, it depends on the service being provided. More information is available on request.
What benefits do we offer?
Benefits vary per role but include competitive salaries, generous pension contributions, access to an Employer Assistance Programme and to private medical care.
Why should a Service leaver consider applying?
The Royal NAAFI provides a half-way-house for Service leavers - a safe space where they can build their civilian CV while remaining in the armed forces community. We understand the jargon and the life of our veterans and their families, many of us here having lived that experience ourselves. We also recognise that when a Service leaver leaves the forces, it can cause upheaval for their entire family, which is why our vacancies are opened up to Service leavers’ family members as well.
Why would Service leavers be a good fit for the organisation?
Service leavers are the ideal fit for any Royal NAAFI role as they’ve lived the experience of our customers and possess a unique view of what they need. They also understand our locations and how to communicate effectively with local command and others, to understand their needs and enable us to provide the highest quality service.
Come meet us at our Open Day event!
At the moment, our main focus is on our service to Royal Navy Ships, which is why we’re holding an Open Day event at the Fareham Job Centre on the 20th March. So why not drop by and find out a little bit more about who we are and what we can offer you?
