Set yourself up for life.
From the start of your training, you’ll earn £26,334 a year which will go up as you progress in your career.
From your first day of training, 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 training you need.
Step 1 is your initial military training teaching you how to be a soldier which will be basic military training if you’re a Junior Soldier and adult basic training if you’re a Regular Soldier. Step 2 will be 12 weeks at the Royal School of Military Engineering where you’ll learn military engineering skills including demolition and bridge building. Step 3 will be 32 weeks of Fabricator training including hand and power tools and how to forge, weld and cut metal.
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.
You’ll even get to travel the world, taking part in the Army’s adventurous training, and spending dedicated time playing the sports you love.
Get skills, get qualified, get confident.
