Sadly there is no retainer but £25 per flying hour and depending on the time of year and weather average 45 hrs p/mth that works out at approx £1125 p/mth
Also if you become my ground examiner you get £20 for every exam taken (as you will invigilate and mark them) and also get paid £25 per hr when students fly solo
If you are interested contact me

We are at Cotswold Airport in the Cotswolds region near Gloucester
Ground school is not very popular here in the UK as everyone self studies to save money
But ground school tuition would pay you £20 per hr too
Not a job I'm likely to apply for anyhow - but in general terms, I'm not sure I'd take any job that is as "Chief" but doesn't pay anything for doing the "Chief" bit !
Somebody doing HoT well, is going to have to put significant effort into that - maintaining documents, mentoring newer instructors, meetings with the CAA.... I'd expect them to be paid for it. And paying a fully qualified instructor (even without the Chief) under £14k.pa: hardly surprising that very few people of quality want to stay in instructing.
