Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to move beyond purely operational flying and use your experience to influence how the next generation of military aircrew are trained.
You will be working with advanced synthetic training technology, contributing to the development of new training solutions and playing a key role in preparing personnel for operational environments.
The role also provides the opportunity to work across training design, development, testing, simulation, and instruction, rather than being limited to a single instructional function.
Location & Working Pattern
Cornwall - Full-time, Monday to Friday, with a stable working pattern.
(There may also be opportunities for some home working and travel associated with training development and programme activities.)
Security
Due to the nature of the work, the successful candidate will be required to obtain and maintain UK Security Check (SC) clearance. Applicants must therefore be able to satisfy the relevant UK security-vetting requirements.
If you are an experienced military mission aircrew professional looking to utilize your operational expertise in a challenging training environment, this could be an excellent opportunity to move into a role where your experience directly contributes to the development of future military aircrew.
