Working at The Army

Saving lives. Protecting nations. Safeguarding communities.

 

When you join the British Army, you’ll do something that really matters and belong to something much bigger than yourself. You’ll build bonds that last a lifetime, learn extraordinary skills and travel to the most remote corners of the world – from skiing in Europe to white-water rafting in Canada.

Living, training and working together, your team are there to see you through whatever life throws at you – on and off the battlefield. They become family. There’s nothing like it in the civilian world.

Wherever you’re from, however long you’ve worked, whatever you’ve done before, we’ll help you realise your full potential. Whether it’s world-class training, learning new qualifications or travelling the globe on operations, you’ll be bettering yourself and making people proud.

You bring your determination, drive and ambition, and we’ll give you everything you need to make an impact in the world. There’s a place here for you.

FIND WHERE YOU BELONG.

RESPECT FOR OTHERS
No matter what situation you are in, you must show respect and tolerance for other people and be able to put yourself in their shoes.

SELFLESS COMMITMENT
The needs of the team always come before your own needs. Soldiers are part of something bigger and must commit to it.

COURAGE
Soldiers and officers must know what the right thing to do is and be brave enough to do it.

INTEGRITY
Soldiers must always be honest, sincere, reliable and selfless. Soldiers must be loyal to the Army and be ready to do as it asks. The country relies upon it.

DISCIPLINE
The Army has to be a disciplined force, so every soldier needs to follow the rules and be responsible for themselves.

LOYALTY
Loyalty is about supporting your team, looking after and helping them even when the going gets tough. In return, they do the same for you.

COMMITMENT
Joining the Army involves making a commitment. It does take time to get used to Army life, but the Army will welcome you, train you and develop you.

If you decide the Army isn’t for you you’re free to leave. Like any job there is a notice period, which depends on how long you’ve served. Three months into your training, you decide if you want to leave or commit to stay on for four years.

It might sound like a big commitment but you get job security and time to take advantage of all that the Army can offer, like travel, qualifications, sport, a good income and friends for life.

We’ll help you uncover strengths you didn’t even know you had. You’ll soon start noticing the benefits.
