Supernumerary roles

@ACP 20 PI 202 - Conditions of Appointment – CFC Officers

Service with the ATC as a CFC officer is voluntary and part-time at a unit mutually agreed by the individual and his Wing HQ. CFC officers may transfer to other units voluntarily or be moved in the interests of the RAFAC or their personal development in accordance with ACP20 PI 110. CFC officers may serve supernumerary on other units and may apply to do so on Pers Form 1-11.

This is repeated for WOs & SNCOs as well as CIs in the relevant Personnel Instruction.

This definition from Wikionary matches us quite well;

supernumerary(Noun)

A civil designation for somebody who works in a group, association or public office, without forming part of the regular staff; those distinguished from numerary.

A supernumerary member of staff does not impact on the unit’s establishment as detailed in ACP 20. An example could be that you live close to another unit and they parade on Wednesday’s when you have nothing else on so become supernumerary and support that unit in addition to your primary unit.

I have the strange situation where the Wing DofE Officer’s primary role is as a Sqn Officer of mine, and therefore acts as Supernumerary for the Wing, which is a little messed up when you consider it’s an established post that could be full on.
