Job summary:

Part of the Defence Safety Authority (DSA), the Military Aviation Authority (MAA) is the organisation responsible for the regulation, surveillance, inspection and assurance of the Defence Air operating and technical domains.

It ensures the safe design and use of military air systems.

As the single regulatory authority responsible for regulating all aspects of Air Safety across Defence, the MAA has full oversight of all Defence aviation activity.

Through independent audit and continuous surveillance of military aviation, the MAA aims to provide the Secretary of State for Defence (SOS), through Director General DSA (DG DSA), the necessary assurance that appropriate standards of Air safety are maintained in delivering operational capability.

The MAA consists of 4 Divisions; this role resides within the Operating Assurance (OpAssure) Division.

The OpAssure Division regulates, on behalf of Director MAA (D MAA), the operation of all Air Systems registered as UK Military Aircraft (Crewed and Uncrewed), covering all activity within the Defence Air Environment (DAE), and provides the main delivery arm of the MAA's Assurance activity.

The key function of the OpAssure Division is to collect, process and disseminate intelligence concerning Risk within, and performance of, the Regulated Community (RC) to construct a Rich Picture.

Appropriate communication of the Rich Picture and coordination of OpAssure activity enables Risk Based Assurance of the RC.

This is a Fixed-term Appointment as a DSA MAA Assurance Coordination Cell Administrator, advertised at 37 hours per week. Your responsibilities will be as described in this job advert. The reason why you are appointed for a fixed period is due to covering maternity leave. This post will therefore begin on your appointment and end on 25/04/2024.

You should be aware that when your Fixed-term Appointment at MOD comes to an end, arrangements will be made in line with the FTA policy.

If you are a permanent MoD civil servant and are found successful for an advertised Fixed-term Appointment (FTA) you should move into the post under a Temporary Transfer (for up to a maximum of 23 months).

At the end of the posting you will return to your previous MoD Business area.

If this posting is at a higher grade, your promotion will be temporary, and you will return to your substantive grade at the end of the Temporary Transfer.

If a Temporary Transfer cannot be agreed between all parties then a transfer on an FTA contract is possible, read the FTA and Change of Work Location in the UK policy for further information.

If you are transferring to MoD from another government department (OGD) you should join the MoD on an inward loan.

At the end of the loan you will return to your home (OGD) department.

If a loan cannot be agreed between all parties then a transfer on an FTA contract is possible, read the FTA policy for further information.
