Additional information

I am a female masters student as of current in medieval literature and Latin, at the uni of Manchester. I have a degree in English and cw, and a pgce in literacy too from the uni of bolton. I identify as from an Irish Catholic background from Northern Ireland (not a practising Catholic) but I've lived in North West England for 5 years now. I am considering joining the reserves as an officer (I wanted to be full time, but didn't want to be away from my partner all week and only see him weekends as we're used to living together) what roles would be available to me? Would I be accepted as Irish? I wanted to be physically active, not just have a desk job, which is why I'm interested to start with I guess!

Hi there - Have you thought about being an Educational Training Services (ETS) Reserve Officer? The ETS are the Army's teachers and form part of the Adjutant General's Corps. First, you become an Officer over 44 weeks. All Army training will fit around your day job – and comes with pay and bonuses. You’ll be assigned to an Army Education Centre that’s close to home, to do your induction training. In your first year, you’ll do a Junior Officer Leadership Package – a great addition to your Army and civilian CV. Later, you can take a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) or apply to learn a foreign language. As an ETS Reserve Officer you can serve with other units and take courses. Your faith and Northern Irish nationality won't be a factor - NI is UK and the Army accepts almost all faiths.
