ONE of the largest recruitment campaigns in the training sector has been launched to find instructors, trainers and teachers to work on a major new contract with the Royal Navy.
The £40m contract for training specialist Flagship is set to create hundreds of new jobs at naval establishments throughout the south, including HMS Collingwood in Newgate Lane, Fareham.
The jobs will be created as Flagship takes over the role of planning and helping in the delivery of more than 900 courses for new and existing naval personnel.
The first tranche to recruit 85 jobs is already under way but up to 350 roles will transfer directly to Flagship.
The massive recruitment campaign just launched is for instructors and training support staff in areas from warfare to fire fighting, engineering and communications.
The new contract builds on the existing relationship between Flagship and the Royal Navy, which began 10 years ago.
Flagship's managing director Dave Mitchard said the contract marked the start of a new era of further expansion for Flagship, which currently employs 1,600 people.
The company will also be able to offer the training package to customers outside the Royal Navy.
He said: 'This is not just about saving money for the Royal Navy, it is also about improving and modernising training through innovation.
