Entry-Level Army Roles

Entry-Level Army Roles

Nationwide

Full-time

YOUR ARMY NEEDS YOU.

Think a role in the Army just means fighting on the front line? Think again. The Army has all kinds of roles available – from Movement Controllers helping get the right kit to the right people, in the right place, and at the right time, to Communications Transport Specialists that keep units in touch on the battlefield. When you join the Army you can reach heights you never knew existed and learn vital skills that’ll set you up for life.

There are so many roles you can explore in the Army. Help to keep our soldiers and their families fit and healthy by becoming a Nurse, or join as a Mapping & Planning Specialist where you’ll be mapping disaster relief plans or top secret environments. You could even be a Trainee Intelligence Analyst where you’ll collect information that could be vital to operations. Or, if you’d rather be in the heart of the action, there are our Infantry, Guardsman and Tank Crewman roles. Whatever you’re interested in doing, you’ll be trained by experienced soldiers who will do everything they can to help you to succeed. You’ll get fit, achieve real qualifications and do something that matters.
