They started employment at all ages, from all backgrounds and in many different areas. They are Legal Advisers, Press Officers, Consumer Affairs Officers, Air Traffic Services Inspectors. And these are only just a few of the vital roles at the CAA, the UK's world class air transport regulator.
Many people are passionately interested in aviation and travel but, sadly, only a proportion can be employed as aircrew. That is why the Civil Aviation Authority is such a popular destination for those seeking to play an important role in shaping the future of air transport in the UK. Besides maintaining safety standards in the UK, the organization provides added value throughout the industry on an international scale. It promotes best practice regulation across Europe and aims to be a leading partner in EASA, the European Aviation Safety Agency.
Apart from its well- known involvement in air safety, the CAA is also responsible for ATOL, the Air Travel Organiser's License scheme which protects holidaymakers from losing their deposits or being stranded abroad when their travel company goes under.
As it positions itself for the future, the CAA obviously needs to recruit and retain some of the very best professionals and provide a culture which inspires and rewards high performance. To drive continuous improvement of aviation safety and effectiveness, it clearly has to be committed to the ongoing development of its people and their capabilities.
Needless to say the CAA is an extremely varied organisation having a broad spectrum of business areas, each requiring particular skills, knowledge and experience. Consequently, the types of role for which it recruits are equally varied and, to ensure that it's drawing on the best talents available, it takes equality and diversity very seriously.
While many of the thousands who are employed by the CAA are engaged in highly specialist work specific to aviation safety, many others are active in all the back-up roles that you would typically expect to find in any large organization. Although it is based at two main locations, in Central London and Gatwick, it also maintains regional offices and exam centres at sites throughout England and Scotland in order to work closely with the aviation industry at the sharp end.
Refreshingly, the CAA maintains its own recruitment website so that prospective applicants can get a close insight into the organization and the opportunities on offer. It is possible to apply for individual jobs directly via the site and it even has a facility to register one's interest and file one's CV in anticipation of future vacancies in specific key roles.
Perhaps one of the biggest attractions of working for the CAA are the generous terms and conditions, including one of the very few remaining final salary pension schemes. Above all, the level of job security is almost second to none. The CAA is going to exist in one form or another for as long as people use air travel and, as it is funded by the airlines themselves, it is not subject to any public sector cutbacks.
