Description
Salary: £24,000 to £26,500 per annum – dependant on experience
Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract for 12 months (multiple opportunities available)
Location: Crawley, West Sussex (Our Gatwick Office)
Security Level: BPSS
We are the UK's aviation and aerospace regulator and recognised as a world leader in its field. Our activities are diverse, enabling the aviation industry to meet the highest safety standards, and we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to the constantly evolving aviation environment.
The Shared Service Centre (SSC) at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) provides a range of services that underpin the UK’s Aviation Safety framework and is the starting point for so many CAA processes where the first line of regulatory control and safety regulation begins at the application stage. We handle the applications for most of the licences, certificates, approvals, permits and permissions that the CAA issues.
The Role
Our comprehensive on the job training means you'll need to be flexible – processing different types of applications and information, dealing with telephone queries, managing emails and learning about all aspects of the SSC and its' services all the while making sure excellent customer service is at the heart of everything you do.
You'll be surprised at the technical expertise, insight, and knowledge you can learn on the job and in time, find yourself advising and guiding others on specialist subjects.
About You
We need people who are great team players with a collaborative approach, able to work in an environment of change and are comfortable with switching focus depending on workload demands. As this is a high-paced environment, you will need to be proactive, not afraid of challenges and willing to go the extra mile to ensure the delivery of tasks and deadlines are met.
IT skills in a range of Microsoft packages and using bespoke databases and systems are essential as well as the ability to communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing. You will need to be conscientious in your own work with an emphasis on quality and high standards, as well as having an eye for detail when checking and reviewing documentation received into the department. Previous experience of working in a customer service or aviation related setting would be an advantage but not essential.
What Can We Offer You?
We are focused on the development of our people, and you will have the opportunity to work alongside creative and collaborative team members who are keen to make a difference to the CAA.
We offer a hybrid working arrangement however successful candidates will be required to attend training onsite in the Gatwick office for approximately the first 12 weeks of their employment.
