Inzpire is looking for dynamic, proactive individuals with a ‘can do attitude’ who are capable of working within a military training environment with minimal supervision and are keen to contribute their own experience, suggesting ideas to continually improve the training delivery.

At times the role will require flexible working or shift work in support of our customers training needs. Prior military or a uniformed service background is highly desirable, especially in the operation of sUAS and FPV systems in the land environment; all services and cap badges will be considered. Additionally, if further sUAS and FPV experience has been gained after leaving military service in a civil capacity, this will also be considered favourably. However, we are also keen to build on the experience of highly experienced civilian sUAS and FPV Pilots who may not have served in the military but have outstanding skills and experience in sUAS and FPV operations.

• Military Experience – HM Forces Veteran with significant service
  or
• Civil UAS Operations Experience – at least a couple of logged UAS operations
• Letter of Recommendation from military chain of command or past civil UAS employer.
• sUAS and or FPV Instructional Experience.
• Instructor Qualifications: accredited to Level 3 Award in Education are highly desirable, but other instructional qualifications will be considered including Defence Train the Trainer (DTTT) or Aircrew Instructor Course (AIC), CFS qualifications etc.
• Familiarity with JSP822 Defence System Approach to Training (DSAT) methodology.
• Extant Security Clearance (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV) highly desirable.
• Familiarity with MAA RA 1600 series.
• Familiarity with CAA UAS category regulations.

LOCATION: UK South

Due to the nature of elements of the role, the successful applicant must be a UK National and may be required to successfully complete National Security Vetting which may require criminal record, security service and credit reference checks; qualification will also normally require a minimum UK residency of at least 5 years.

BENEFITS

Our comprehensive benefits package includes:
