ATSA Roles
I have heard on the rumor mill (but belived quite genine), that both Swanwick and Bournemouth will shortly be recruiting externally for Aircraft Control Position Operators (or "blip" drivers). This is an excellent job, and gives you an insight of ATC Operations and procedures, and puts you in a very good position to apply for an Ops Room Assistant at a later stage.
With regards to pay, you can expect to start off on about £15k (although Swanwick also offers about £3k Unsocial Hours Payment, due to the shift pattern).
I would certainly recommend the job to anyone interested in developing a career in ATC.
