To be non-pilot crew, you have to train in whatever role the helicopter is being used for and even then there would be no guarantee that you'd get the heli work.

You could be a policeman and then get on as a police observer or train as a paramedic and maybe get the role as HEMS. You could train as a television outside broadcast comms engineer and/or cameraman and maybe you'd get the heli-telly jobs. Work for Transco/Shell/Esso and maybe be a pipeline observer. Join the Armed Forces and there may be some helicopter rides for you!

You might a job as a stewardess on the Scilly Isles route!

Does your name have anything to do with the question?

Cheers
