FAQs

How do I apply to become a pilot or cabin crew?

Airlines run their own recruitment and training programmes, so please contact them directly - we do not handle airline recruitment.

Does Southend Airport offer work experience or internships?

At this time, it is not possible to complete any work experience with London Southend Airport. However other companies based at the airport might offer their own work experience opportunities, and you should contact them for more information. Please note that we cannot help you with supplying this information.

What checks are needed before I’m offered employment?

On the day of your first interview, or assessment, you should bring your ‘Right to Work in the UK’ documents with you. If you are a successful applicant, you must be cleared in accordance with CAA regulations, which involves providing a full five year employment and educational reference history.

You must be able to account for any gaps in your employment during the last five years. You’ll need to obtain a satisfactory UK Criminal Record Certificate and, depending on the position you are applying for, you may also need to clear a Counter Terrorism Check.
