Flying Instructors – Join the Most Exciting Name in UK Flight Training
Location: Leeds Bradford International Airport
Salary: Competitive and experience-based (Full-Time)
Job Type: Full-Time (Salaried) / Part-Time (Self-Employed)
Forget “just another flying school” - this is your opportunity to be part of something different. Bold. Ambitious. And built from the ground up to reshape flight training in the UK.
VNE Aviation isn’t just offering a job. We’re offering the chance to be on the ground floor of the UK’s most exciting GA training environment - one that’s driven by innovation, backed by investment, and already turning heads across the sector.
We’re proud to be the UK’s first and only Cessna Pilot Centre, operating a brand-new fleet of Cessna and Tecnam aircraft, all fully equipped with cutting-edge Garmin avionics, including G3X Touch, and G1000 NXi. Our entire training philosophy is built around modernity, professionalism, and exceptional standards - and we’re just getting started.
With a roadmap that includes commercial operations, advanced training programmes, and innovative technologies, VNE Aviation is the place for instructors who want to do more than clock hours - we want instructors who want to be part of building something truly special.
The Role
We’re looking for passionate, forward-thinking Fixed Wing Flying Instructors to join our team delivering Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training under UK CAA regulations. Whether you're newly qualified or highly experienced, if you're enthusiastic and committed to delivering the best possible training, we want to hear from you.
What Makes This Different?
* We’re modern, by design – from our aircraft to our systems, nothing is outdated.
* You’ll teach on the newest fleet in the region – Tecnam and Cessna aircraft with full Garmin glass cockpits.
* We’re the UK’s only Cessna Pilot Centre – backed by a global brand with world-class standards.
* You can grow with us – commercial flight ops, IR training, and more are all on the horizon.
* You’ll be heard – we’re building a culture where instructors influence the direction of the organisation, not just follow it.
What We Offer
* Full-Time (Salaried): Stability, benefits, and a true career path
* Part-Time (Self-Employed): Flexibility with access to the same cutting-edge tools
A professional, well-supported environment where standards actually matter
Instruct on brand new, beautifully equipped aircraft with the latest Garmin tech
Be part of a growing organisation with serious ambitions
A forward-thinking team that values ideas, feedback, and innovation
You’ll Need
* FI(A) Rating – both restricted and unrestricted instructors are welcome
* Class 1 or 2 Medical
* A commitment to quality and safety
* Strong interpersonal and instructional skills
* Passion for aviation — and for doing things better
Nice to Have:
* Additional instructor ratings (IRI, CRI, Night)
* Experience with Garmin G3X Touch, G1000, G1000 NXi
* A background in structured, high-standard training environments
Ready to Be Part of It?
This isn’t just another job. It’s a rare chance to get in early with a fast-growing, quality-first flight training organisation with serious plans and a sharp vision.
