Company

Be the one others turn to. Be responsible. Be trusted with the safety of the nation. Become a British Army Officer, and you'll be doing something that really matters. Leading a team. Making a difference to the world.

It all starts at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. You'll learn the skills you need to become an Officer – from weapons handling to outdoor survival – to what it takes to lead your team in a range of hostile situations, anywhere in the world.

Once you've commissioned, you'll take charge of 30 soldiers. Then, you'll begin the specialist training you need to be an expert in your chosen field, whether that's engineering, intelligence gathering, or piloting an Apache helicopter. You'll also take part in Adventurous Training around the world, from skiing in the Alps to white-water rafting in Colorado. All while you're earning a starting salary of around £32,800 (after training).

You'll also enjoy a wide range of benefits that come with Army life, from sports and state-of-the-art training facilities, to earning valuable professional qualifications.

The rewards are exceptional, the challenge is incredible and there's no single bigger adventure in life. To make a difference to the world. To make something more of yourself.

    Job description

    Want to get paid to learn skills for life? You Belong Here.

    In a full-time, entry-level Logistics role, you'll:

    • Support British Army operations across the world
    • Organise essential supplies like food and ammunitions
    • Earn your HGV licence, foundation modern apprenticeship, and NVQ
    • Travel with your unit wherever they go – at home or overseas

    Logistics in the Army includes many roles, you could work as an ammunition technician, a driver communications specialist, a logistics or a supply specialist. Whichever route you take, you'll work alongside your friends, and you'll find a team where you can belong.

    To qualify, you must be between 16 years 6 months and 35 years 6 months and pass a basic fitness test.

    Set yourself up for life.

    During your initial training, you'll earn £18,687, after which your salary will rise to £23,496.

    You'll also receive 30 days' annual leave every year (plus bank holidays and extra leave after operations), free medical and dental care, cheaper living costs, and free gym and sports facilities. And unless you're away on operations or training exercises, you'll normally work 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

    From your very first day of training with us, you'll be gaining transferrable skills – skills that could set you up for life. You don't need to know how to do the job before you get here, because we'll give you all the entry-level training you need.

    Plus, you'll get to travel the world, taking part in the Army's adventurous training, and spending dedicated time playing the sports you love.
