Do you have an appetite for teaching STEM subjects? The next generation of the Royal Navy’s Aircraft Engineering Technicians needs you. The Royal Naval Air Engineering and Survival School is looking for someone to instruct primarily Aircraft Engineering maintenance documentation subjects but also Quality Assurance self-audit and Workplace Risk Assessor training - all up to Foundation Degree level.
Your primary role will be teaching adult learners who are studying for their next promotion and as part of the course will achieve either a Level 4 Certificate of Higher Education or a Level 5 Foundation Degree in Aeronautical Engineering, delivered by the MOD, and accredited by the University of Portsmouth. These trainees will progress to be engineering supervisors on Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Squadrons, deployed around the globe.
Applicants must have served a recognised aeronautical engineering apprenticeship or a relevant recognised alternative period of training and possess an appropriate National Qualification (L4 ONC/OND) and have at least 5 years recent experience in that trade or specialisation at supervisory level or above.
Teaching experience is preferred, however a professional Defence Trainer Course will be provided for a successful candidate if required, and further opportunities for formal civilian teaching qualifications are also available. Regular CPD opportunities will also be offered covering teaching, aviation, engineering, and other areas.
Teaching will be conducted within the normal working week, which is 0800 – 1630 Monday-Thursday, 0800-1430 Friday. Training is programmed for 45 weeks of the year. You will be working in an encouraging supportive environment with a line manager mentor, as well as numerous other experienced trainers and training managers. The school offers an extensive support network for all trainees which provides all pastoral care.
