Background Force Development and Adventurous Training (AT) is one of the cornerstones of personal and professional development within the Armed Forces with parachuting being one of the recognised AT activities. With an RAF member currently unable to support AT parachute rigging activities at the Robson Parachuting Centre Weston on the Green (RPC(W)), the service of an Advanced Rigger will be required. These services will have to be conducted in accordance with the relevant regulations, these being; the British Parachute Association (BPA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The parachute season will cover the period from February to mid-December annually. Requirement The requirement is for a contract to include three core years commencing 1.10.2017 to 30.9.2020, with a further 2 x 1 year options, 1.10.2020 to 30.9.2021 and 1.10.2021 to 30.9.2022.. The contract services required will comprise: (RPC(W) — Provision for a full-time Advanced Rigger required for an average of 37 hours per week. — The Rigger must hold a BPA Advanced Rigger qualification and additional qualifications, either as a CSI or AFFI are highly desirable. — The Advanced Rigger will need to temporarily support the delivery of JSAT activity at alternative locations for up to four weeks at a time; these locations may not be limited to within the UK but would be limited to Europe and could include Germany, Spain and Cyprus. When contract employees are required to work away from RPC (W) in support of contracted activity, food and accommodation will be paid for or provided by the Authority — this will be the same standard as received by military staff. — The Advanced Rigger will be expected to assist with instruction and participate in staff training as a CSI/AFFI and coach in a relevant discipline.
