The salary for the appointment is £32,455 (not negotiable) which includes an addition for working unsocial, and in excess of standard hours. CAAs are employed on an All Hours Worked contract which is based on an average of 42.5 hours worked per week, over a rolling 17 week period. This is subject to any annual MoD pay rise. The successful applicant will be eligible to join the CRFCA Pension scheme.

The post holder will be subject to a Security Clearance check and DBS Enhanced check; two suitable references will also be required. For meaningful checks to be carried out, individuals need to have lived in the UK for a sufficient period of time to enable appropriate checks to be carried out and produce a result which provides the required level of assurance. You should normally have been resident in the United Kingdom for the 5 years for SC clearance. A lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to a security clearance and applicants should contact the Vacancy Holder/Recruiting Manager listed in the advert for further advice.
