RAF careers mentoring service for potential applicants 

Young people wishing to make an application for the RAF in the next 4-6 months can take advantage of a remote mentoring service provided by Squadron Leader Jackie Millard-Smith at RAF Brize Norton (Jacqueline.Millard-Smith912@mod.gov.uk). Due to data protection this mentoring service is ONLY available to candidates who register to make an application directly through the Squadron Leader rather than going online or calling the RAF careers line. When registered, candidates will be mentored remotely by an individual in the role(s) they are applying for to help them make a more informed decision about their choice and will also be guided by the Squadron Leader on how to prepare for selection. Please note, this service is only for submitting applications NOT for general careers information or research on the RAF.
