More than a nine-to-five

In the Army, your workmates become your best mates. Living, travelling and working together as a team, sometimes in difficult situations, creates a bond unlike anything you’d find in a civilian workplace. All this is underlined by a set of values, making sure all officers and soldiers have a deep respect for one another as they go about their day-to-day lives.

In Army accommodation there’s always someone to talk to or relax with. And with excellent facilities on hand, you’re never short of things to do…

Train in a jungle or learn to scuba dive off Cyprus. Whatever your role, there's huge potential to see more of the world.

Pay, opportunities for training, travel and promotion are the same for men and women. You’ll also receive a good maternity packageif you start a family.

No matter what your ethnic background, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation, you’ll get the support you need to succeed as part of the team

Officers and soldiers can keep learning throughout their career. You can study NVQs or GCSEs and up to postgraduate level, all subsidised by the Army.

Finding a new job and a place to live after the Army can seem daunting. Our Resettlement Package makes it as smooth and painless as possible.

Being a soldier can be demanding, so you’ll get more paid leave in return. After operations you’ll getextra days off and a chance to travel and enjoy adventure sports.

The Army values its soldiers. That’s why we offer commitment bonuses, golden hellos and bounty payments to make sure we recruit and keep the people we need.

No salary is deducted to pay into an Army pension.Payments are based on final salary and length of service. You can also get a tax-free lump sum after 18 years.

Pay

You’ll get a decent rate of pay from day one; combine that with subsidised food, travel and accommodation and your money goes further in the Army.
