Hi all!

I am pleased to announce that we are recruiting for the Pilot Training Manager role. As most of you will know, this role hasn't been filled in a few years, but it is now making a comeback with new vision!

The Pilot Training Manager role is being brought back as part of a succession plan within Pilot Training and to improve the day-to-day oversight capacity of the staff structure. As such, it has a slightly different role description as it previously had, which will be detailed in the upcoming Handbook rewrite.

General Responsibilities:

• Overseeing day-to-day operations within Pilot Training
• Acting as the appointed senior staff member for the Department and Responsible Representative
• High-level management of training programme development
• Working closely with the Pilot Training Director to ensure the Department operates efficiently
• Actively engaging Flight Instructors and the mentoring team
• Managing pilot rating examinations for the ATO (if required)

The candidate must:

• Be a home member of VATSIM UK or able to transfer to the UK division as a home member
• Be a member in good standing
• Currently be or have past experience as a mentor within VATSIM UK
• Have excellent teamwork and operational skills
• Hold a P1 or higher network rating, or be eligible for a real-world license transfer

Safe landings,
