Working in the British Army is a truly unique and rewarding experience. It offers a structured yet dynamic environment where no two days are the same.

What sets the British Army apart from other organisations is its unwavering commitment to its people. From world-class training and career development to comprehensive support for soldiers and their families, the Army invests heavily in your future. It’s not just a job — it’s a lifestyle that builds resilience, leadership, and a sense of purpose.

Top Insider Advice

I left school with decent grades, and was a CNC Programmer before i joined the Army at 25. I could of carried on down the engineering side of things in the Army, but that isn't what I wanted to do. I wanted to join the Royal Artillery and work with the firepower that it offers. If you join the Army in a job role that you don't like or enjoy you will hate it and want to do something else. There are 200 jobs in the Army meaning there is something out there for you. You just need to apply yourself.
