Learn to lead.
Are you a quick thinker? Calm under pressure, with a curious
mind? Officers are at the heart of everything the Army does – making
split-second decisions in critical situations, commanding some of the best
soldiers in the world on the front line, on land, sea or in the air. There are
many different full-time Officer roles in the Army, and each one plays a vital
part in our success, at home and overseas.
If you’ve got the potential, drive and determination, we’ll
provide you with all the training and transferrable skills you need to lead
from the front.
Start the adventure of a lifetime.
During your training at Sandhurst, you’ll be an Officer
Cadet, earning £31,305 a year. As you progress through our ranks, this will
rise to £44,457 for a Captain, and £55,999 when you become a Major. Army
officer pay is in line with other graduate jobs.
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.
As an entry-level Officer, you’ll start your career in a
position of management, commanding responsibility for your team of soldiers.
You don’t need any experience to apply – through world-class training at the
Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, you’ll develop the transferrable
leadership skills and qualifications you need to motivate and support your
team.
Outside the Royal Military Academy, you’ll continue to learn
and grow through adventurous training and international travel. Being an
Officer is a global adventure, whether you’re leading expeditions, running
operations abroad, or delivering humanitarian aid to communities in need.
