The BSG Eastern Region offers a variety of roles at RAF Marham and RAF Honington, providing a pool of part-time, locally engaged personnel who can undertake routine tasks at a local level to mitigate staffing shortfalls or to meet surge requirements. Individuals with previous military service are invited to register their interest with the BSG Hub by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) form.

You would be enlisted as ‘RAF Reserves’ under the Volunteer ex- Regular Reserve (VeRR - Unestablished) terms of service and be part of a valuable workforce resource for use by the station on an ‘as and when required’ basis.  You would be ‘rehired’ in your previous substantive rank, wear uniform, be issued an ID card and be entitled to base privileges such as use of the gym and mess membership.

You must be qualified and experienced within a Branch/Trade from previous Regular/Reserve service and would be aligned to an equivalent Branch/Trade in one of new RAF Professions: 

Air & Space Operations, Aircrew, Chaplaincy, Cyberspace, Engineering, Intelligence, Legal, Logistics, Medical Services, People Operations and Security & Resilience Operations.

Normal attendance-based pay and Training Bounty arrangements apply.  It is a flexible employment arrangement with no compulsion on the RAF to offer reserve service days and equally no compulsion on you to turn-to when asked; the offer would be a voluntary engagement, up to 90 days 'Zero Hours Contract,' with no enforceable commitment either way.
