Career path

About Charlotte B.

Key Experience
I joined British Airways as a newly qualified employment solicitor in our legal department in September 2022 after completing my training contract at a regional law firm in Manchester. Whilst growing up, I loved plane spotting at Manchester Airport and Heathrow Airport so I particularly love working in the aviation industry and for British Airways specifically!
Current Position
I am part of the Legal department and work an employment lawyer working closely with HR colleagues to manage legal risk across British Airways and its subsidiaries from an employment law perspective. I also regularly get involved with extracurricular activities including events to raise money for our charity partnership with Comic Relief, Flying Start, such as raising over £700 for the charity when I took part in Run Gatwick (a 10k run around the parameters of Gatwick Airport).
Main Motivation

British Airways has an amazing culture which values all employees and their unique individualities. As a transgender woman from a working class background, I found that working in a traditional law firm requires you to fit into a specific mold whereas at British Airways, uniqueness and individuality is embraced and actively encouraged! Having the ability to be myself has helped me to provide a better service to colleagues as I feel comfortable that I am respected and valued regardless of any personal differences in background or gender identity.

Greatest Achievement

During Pride in London 2023, I walked alongside colleagues from different business areas for Pride in London. It was an amazing experience to be out and proud at a large event and to receive a positive reception from the large crowds that were watching the parade and to share that experience with colleagues - we were even featured in British Airways' internal employee magazine!

In the below photographs of the staff there are no staff photos of older women in roles ?

Often in any company website, not just British Airways, the company will only have photographs of younger women in roles and less of older women in roles. I wondered why this was ? Websites and photographs of staff compared to the past it is unfairly weighted towards youth and that any company only employs a certain age range ?

Hi Charlotte! Do you know if any legal position will open up in your team in the near future?

May I apply apply for multiple roles at once?

Hello all, I'm fascinated by aviation and have applied to the Speedbird Academy. As an experienced professional, I'm also interested in roles at BA's head office. My dream is to ultimately be a pilot, but I'm passionate about BA as a whole! Is it acceptable to apply for multiple roles at once?
