RAF Valley needs ex-forces to join them as reserves | North Wales Chronicle (http://www.northwaleschronicle.co.uk/news/16090663.RAF_Valley_needs_ex_forces_to_join_them_as_reserves/)
EX-FORCES personnel are being given a new opportunity to serve their country again.
The newly formed RAF Valley Reserves Group (VRG) on Anglesey is hoping to attract people to join.
The VRG provides a pool of part-time locally engaged personnel who can undertake routine tasks at RAF Valley.
The work is aimed at covering times when there are shortfalls in manning shortfalls or at times of surge requirements.
Individual volunteers can serve for up to 90 days a year on a VeRR contract (Volunteer ex Regular Reserve).
Normal attendance based pay and travel expenses up to 50 miles each way will be provided, plus an annual tax free Training Bounty. Volunteers will be enlisted in the RAFR in the rank – or the equivalent if ex RN or ex-Army – they left previous Regular or Reserve service.
The arrangement is flexible, with no compulsion on the RAF to offer Reserve Service days, and equally no compulsion to accept work when asked. The offer is very similar to agency nurses or supply teachers. VRG personnel will be provided with uniform and ID card, and be entitled to use all base facilities such as the gym and messes. There will be no requirement for personnel to undertake Individual Reinforcement Training or the RAF Fitness Test.
As a Reservist with the VRG, volunteers would become a valued part of the RAF Valley team, working on a busy flying station at the heart of UK defence.
For further information contact the Valley Reserves Group on: 01407 762 241 or [email protected].
