From radios to teaching ending in recruiting and nurturing.
I found a passion for teaching by starting with basic lessons on my trade at my first unit to share my knowledge. Then I became and instructor at ATC (P) where I was responsible for coaching and mentoring a section of new recruits in their basic training. After that I moved back to my trade as a Driver Communications Specialist, furthering my trade qualifications and graduating with the University of Wolverhampton before promoting to Sgt and taking another position at ATC (P) where I was responsible for ensuring a Troop of new recruits received the best training from my instructors.
After my second posting to ATC (P) I have been fortunate enough to become part of the RLC Nurture Team where we engage with candidates looking to join the British Army and Royal Logistic Corps, guiding them through the process as well as keeping them engaged and well informed for their future careers.
