Civilian instructor opportunities in UK mil?

Hello,

I'm a JAR ATPL, FI(A), with CRI (multi-engine instructor) and IRI (Instrument Rating Instructor) ratings, and type-rated on Citation jet. I recently sent off CV to DEFTS at Barkston Heath asking if my quals would be acceptable to work there as a civilian FI, and they replied in the affirmative but that unfortunately there were currently no vacancies.

I am therefore asking here if there are any other little niches like DEFTS around the services where my qualifications might be of use? I expect the answer will be no, but I'd just like to know for sure before I give up completely on the idea! I am ex-UAS and ex-TA, greatly regret not having joined the services when I was still under the age-limits, so I know that I would enjoy the lifestyle.
