CourtneeLouise,

It's difficult to say really as there are so many different roles at an airport that can come under that heading!

Was the job title hand written or does it look like it came out of a computer?

First thing that springs to my mind is that it should say Airport Groundstaff and there wasn't enough space in the field of the database. Has she been through security vetting to work airside?

Thanks guys, it was an online application. I think it may be airport groundstaff but we were thinking it was just duty free or training for check in. She would be doing 4 days at Bristol Airport and 1 day at college a week. I can't see them letting her work airside that young, can they? :really

She hasn't passed anything to be airside yet because this will be her first job :)
Thanks again

Anything post security is airside, even working in duty free or a food outlet and requires a security pass. Any airport employee needs an ID badge and clearance, that'll be taken care of on the first day I would imagine.

Oh now i'm being a dummy :duh Sorry, I didn't think duty free / security was airside, now I understand.
Thanks Dazbo that's really helpfull I have a rough idea now. :)

I thought to get clearance to work airside you needed a full CRB check - and that can take weeks! The only company I can find that has a record of apprenticeships at Bristol is Servisair/Globe Ground and they really are Groundstaff - airside with, in and under the planes! They also did a transportation retailing apprenticeship (checkin/ customer services desk) but Grounds wouldn't appear in the title. Doesn't she know what she's applied for or is this a case of teenagers not talking?
