Job description
Parenting is the name given to the support provided to stations, units, commands and personnel located within the UK . The support can be in the form of practical and material support from another unit. With shrinking budgets and an ever-decreasing RAF footprint, it is more vital than ever to ensure the on going provision of support to these units to allow them to meet their required output. Predominantly, the Parenting team maintain the on-line RAF Parenting Statement document and act as the conduit into Air Command for all support requests. Liaising with all stakeholders (customers and support providers), the team are constantly driving forward smarter ways in the provision of support.
Person specification
You will need to have excellent organisational and time management skills, alongside being a proactive team member with a good understanding of IT Skills.
Excellent communication skills will be needed with the ability to talk to stakeholders frequently. You will be responsible for updating the RAF Parenting Statement Database so accuracy and the ability to transpose data from an email format to the database is a necessity. This database contains over 3000 agreements and is replied upon for its accuracy. You will also be expected to help the team complete annual audits of the data by communicating with our stakeholders at each Station/Unit.
We are a remote working team so you will be expected to keep in contact with the team and especially your job share partner. You will need to have regular discussions to make the transition of work seamless.
