Join as a Territorial Officer

TA officers are in charge of a team of soldiers, using their skills to get the job done. You look after their welfare and deal with any problems. Many officers are graduates, but you don’t need to have a degree – your personal qualities are as important as your qualifications. Here you can find out how the application, selection and joining process works.

Role Finder

Use Role Finder to find out more about the opportunities that are available in the Army: Soldier, Officer or Professionally Qualified; Regular or Territorial and within Territorial; National or Regional. Add information about yourself, your interests and the skills you either have or would like to gain and Role Finder will suggest roles which are most suited to you. This will hopefully point you in the right direction of where you want to go. 

Talk To Us

If having explored this site you may have some further questions, give us a ring on 0845 600 8080 or chat with serving personnel via our Facebook pages. If you would rather meet face to face, then drop by your local Army Careers Centre (ACC) or call up to book an appointment to see a Careers Advisor (CA). They'll be able to explain your options on the roles you're interested in and arrange visits to the units your interested in.

Apply On Line

If what you've seen or heard interests you, then you can take the next step by registering your details on the online application form. Once you have done that, you can save your application and complete it at your own pace. This does not commit you to joining the Army. You can always apply at an ACC if you would prefer.
