John

Hi, I’m John, a Mobile Patrol Officer from Bournemouth.

I joined Horizon in 2021, and my main role is to visit sites and issue Parking charges. This included issuing tickets for cars parked in disabled bays without blue badges or in parent and child bays without children. After some training, I was given the responsibility to complete 1st line maintenance on our ANPR cameras, payment kiosks and tablets which was challenging and required out-of-the-box thinking.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Horizon. Here, you’re seen as a person, not just a number. The company has a supportive and inclusive attitude, which is rare nowadays. As a full-time MPO, I have a 40-hour contract and a very nice company car, with all expenses paid every two weeks.

I was also given the opportunity to train as a Drone Pilot within the company. This was a fantastic chance to meet other members of Horizon and travel across the UK to fly drones. It has greatly helped my career progression within the company. If you are willing to give your time and effort, Horizon will return it in spades.

Having worked in the customer service industry all my life, I find this industry more interesting because every day is different. If you’re unsure about joining us, just do it. You won’t look back. Every day is an adventure. All you need is to be flexible, customer-focused, and have a can-do attitude.
