What do you like about your job and the company?
In my current position, I love supporting Headquarters, as this allows me to use my skills and knowledge that I have built up after a few years in this job. This also gives me the opportunity to help teach newer soldiers on our process and procedures, as well as different types of kit we might use. With the Corps Engagement Team, I like how independent the team is, and how well we help plan and run different events.
Greatest achievements
In 2022, I was given the opportunity to represent my Regiment, Corps and the Army on the international sports stage. I was part of the flag team during the medal ceremonies at Alexander Stadium, I am immensely proud of this as it was my first time away from my home unit, and it allowed me to develop into a better soldier, being able to work in a small team of people I had only just met.

The army is more than what is seen in dramatised film and television. It’s a group of had working individuals who have learnt to be a part of the army, learnt their strengths and weakness, learnt what kind of job and job role suits them best. There is so much opportunity it is impossible to write it all here but information about the army has never been so easily accessible. The wealth of insight that can be gleaned, to help you determine the right career path in the army, is massive and can help you decide. Even if that decision is not to join the army, you won’t know until you have a look.
