Police/HEMS line pilot vacancy
 

A line pilot position has become available with the North Wales Police Air Operations Unit to fly the EC135 police/HEMS helicopter.
For details please refer to:
Flight International as of April 2nd.
and/or:
http://www.north-wales.police.uk
click 'recruitment', then ' police staff'.
I have only just checked the draft advert so don't expect anything in print until the end of March, beginning of April.
Our minimum criteria:
2000hrs total, of which 1500 PiC.
200hrs T.T.
300hrs onshore exp.
200hrs night flying experience, of which 50hrs PiC.
Substantial mountain flying experience.
Type rating/police experience not essential.
This is a direct employment post with all the usual benefits.
IF you are genuinely interested in applying and you wish to know more, e-mail me.

There's one going at Lancashire as well.

TC,

Followed the link but
Is it too late to apply?

Please can you verify for us, "Substantial mountain flying experience".
Would an Austrian Air Force High Mountain Landing Course, Saillagouse, AAC dets and a bit of work with the Snowdonia National Park be enough?
Or are you looking for someone from across the pond?

Thanks.
SS

No mention anywhere of a forthcoming vacancy at WCAOU by any chance, is there? :ooh: :ouch:

Direct Employment seems to be the up and coming thing. What with the effect of the revised PITO framework and the trickle of pilots from the existing DE Units :ok:

My sources tell me there is likely to be a need for replacement line pilot at Sussex too in the near future.

Silsoe: Not too late, too early in fact. Ad comes out around 2/4. (Hence nothing in the web site yet).

Your mountain flying exp. seems fine - It's not the size of the mountains that count it's what you do with them that requires the experience!
Get your application in if you fancy waking up each morning to some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK.

Good luck.

Don't think so, but it looks like there might be a vacancy at West Mids soon...:rolleyes:

Yeah, right:rolleyes:

Thud_and_Blunder, would that be a fail to stop type opening? :oh:

I bet the pay is in line with the high skills/hours needed...

...or 'B'

so, what do we think the remuneration will be for this position?

Is poor pay the reason for the vacancy? :rolleyes:

flimflam,

On the basis of the last avertisements for the post, no one will ever know apart from those who work there.

Hi, sounds good two me. I am interested. Ex mil (AAC) with over 4000 hrs but no twin. That is usually the problem for me..

POLICE/HEMS Vacancy
 

Whats the score with the vacancy in Lancs?

that's ok, just tell them you will use the one engine at a time, and it will also save the police service a few quid in engine hours

Hingmay, your problem isn't no twin time, it's the fact that you can't speak English. ;)

I think you'll find the pay is in the top percentile for the emergency services industry as it's a directly employed post. This job also comes with a final salary pension, overtime, expenses, LOL.

TT
 

Tell me about it... where is the logic nowadays?

wg13_dummy, If you're based around North Wales then the locals might prefer that you can't speak English!;)

If the Independent Republic of North Wales bump into Hingmay, they'll think he's from another planet.....:} :}

Hingmay and Vidal 423: I can't respond to your PPurune e-mail address because it says you are not receiving any e-mails. Is there a problem?

I checked the advert this morning and it goes to Flt Int for approval - hopefully then into their next weeks deadline copy. [April 2nd].

I'll chase up the Police web site tomorrow.

regards,

TC

Sorted - I Think!
 

I think Ive sorted out my email.. but I aint no computer expert..:ugh:

John

Sort It Out You
 

Hey,

Cant reply as your inbox is full

:ugh: :=

Sorry , been away. Try now!

The ad has now appeared on the online version of Flight International:

http://www.flightglobal.com/Jobs/200...ight-crew.html

No sign of the "low flying experience" that used to be required. Is this a mistake, or a sign of the times?

45K "package"? Ouch!

What does package mean? £45k salary plus benefits, or £45k including benefits?

The actual North Wales Police website describes the remuneration of £45k as "salary" so I would have thought that pension, BUPA, company car, dancing girls and other fringe benefits are on top of that!

Cheers

Whirls

Police Dancing Girls
 

Not sure if they would prove a perk!:hmm:

£45000 is the basic, in addition:
Annual increments / yr for first 2 yrs.
Annual pay rises i.a.w. public sector pay committee.
Pension (final salary)
Overtime based on a 37hr week.
Very generous LOL
31 days off /annum
3D, 3N, 4OFF regime. Working on average about 160hrs/28 day period.

just curious, apart from ex-mil/ex north sea, who has 200 hours night in this country? not many i bet.

Does anyone have an opinion on that salary. IMHO it's pretty much in line with the going rates for most of us employed by PAS/Macs/Bond isn't it? Perhaps for a DE unit, they should be offering something better?

no mention of sheep in the package :confused: :confused: :confused:

The licence requirement is also a bit odd. I could understand an "old timer" with a CAA ATPL(H) moving just for a bit of a scenery change but why would any one with an unrestricted JAA ATPL(H) consider a drop to £45k?

Ouch Bertie, who are you calling an old timer! :)

Anyway, it might be a fair old drop in pay but the houses are cheap.

And Bell, I think the sheep are only included in the Senior Pilot package, sorry.

TeeS

.....perhaps the ad should have read ".....JAA CPL(H)...." to encompass more younger (or older but fresher out of the mil) brethren?

There are a lot of pilots currently employed by PremiAir/PAS/Bond for whom this would be a very attractive remuneration package, apart from.............

There are a lot of pilots who don't work for the three companies mentioned for whom this would be a significant pay cut!!

Wouldn't change for the world
 

It's a lot more than some of us North Sea offshore guys earn!! Shame I only have 5 hours night and a two year bond!
