Bisley Tactical Training Centre has undergone significant redevelopment this year, with the new, bespoke facilities due to be opened in December 2024. This will include a state of the art gym with equipment for instructors and students, new tactical training and personal safety training facilities and modern office spaces.
Bisley is a beautiful village and whilst it’s quiet there is plenty going on nearby. The nearest town of Woking is only five miles away, and you can also easily commute from either Aldershot (20 minutes by car), or Guildford (25 mins). Guildford is the largest town in the county, and it comes with a major shopping and entertainment hub. Families can also enjoy a trip to nearby Legoland, only 30 minutes away from Aldershot!
It’s also ideally placed to get into London, taking around an hour by car. Alternatively, you can catch a train from Woking station which will take you right into the capital. The major international airport, Heathrow, is very close by, and both Gatwick and Southampton international airports are under an hour’s drive away.
This role offers the opportunity and requirement from time to time, to travel and support with providing training to our officers across the two other CNC delivery centres, Griffin Park in Cumbria and at Dounreay in Caithness. We’ll provide you with everything you need to be able to visit these fantastic training facilities which will provide you with role enrichment whilst supporting the wider organisation.
