    Thank you for using the career finder to see what kind of career could be waiting for you in the British Army.

    You love a challenge. Thriving in situations where you can put your brain to the test and take control of strategies, hard and demanding work doesn’t phase you. Driven by a love of problem solving, you can always be relied upon to find a solution and you jump at the chance to take on fresh opportunities, learn new skills and embrace new technology.

    As part of the British Army you’ll be putting these strong characteristics to great use. With roles such as an Intelligence Linguist, Communication Troop Officer, Artillery Troop Officer, Engineer Troop Officer and Intelligence Officer, there is plenty of scope to expand your mind and get excited.

    If you’re looking for a career change, a life in the Army could be the perfect match for you. Always recruiting, the Army has more than 200 diverse roles on offer, giving women like you the chance to challenge themselves while receiving full training and development. There’re also many fantastic benefits, including competitive pay rates, maternity packages, a pension and 38 days annual holiday. Plus, the Army is equal opportunities, which means salaries are according to rank, not gender. Sounds good to us! Plus, there’s the option to join as a Reserve where you’re paid to train in your spare time.
