As we go into 2024, the Operations Department is short of a few staff members. I would like to recruit at least 2 new members to the Operations department in January. As part of this, I would encourage anyone with an interest to reach out to me with any questions.

Many of the roles in the department require a high level and breadth of knowledge and experience to be able to perform effectively, and we do not expect perfection from a new candidate. The department works very collaboratively and all of our work gets contributions and reviews from experienced members of our team and the community - several of whom have in excess of 5 years of experience. We would be delighted to have experienced members on our team, however we are equally interested in developing newer skilled individuals.

Openings

I am opening applications for the following job titles:

• Enroute Operations Coordinator
• Aerodrome Operations Coordinator
• Operations Assistant

The expectation of the Coordinators is that you have the availability to manage all of that branch of the department. This can often result in you having to work outside of your comfort zone and coordinate procedures you are less familiar with.

Our 'Assistant' role is a very fluid, as their primary responsibilities can be within Enroute, Aerodrome or the Sector file. It is suited to both experienced and inexperienced members. Currently in our assistant roles in the department, we have 2 of our most experienced writers who work on projects rather than coordinating the entire branch. We equally recruit less experienced members to work on Aerodrome or Sector File projects and to develop their skills.

To Apply

Please submit an application by email to jobs at vatsim.uk. In the application please outline your experience and how you meet the requirements and desired characteristics of the position.

If you wish to discuss any of the positions, particularly if unsure how you might best fit into the department, please feel free to contact me.

Application Deadline

I will be accepting applications in this round until 23:59z on Saturday 13th January.
