Job Description
An Army HR job is like no other HR job. As an HR Specialist, you could be attached to any unit and go with them wherever they go. Although you’ll be a soldier, you’ll be fully trained in HR, starting with an advanced apprenticeship in business administration.
You’ll have responsibility from day one and the chance to move up into other roles – Chartered Accountant, for example. With worldwide travel, adventure training and the chance to make friends for life, it’s exciting as well as rewarding.
Duties will include:
- Serve within any unit of the British Army
- Make an immediate impact, with real responsibility from day one
- You'll be managing pay, holidays and allowances for soldiers
- You'll update critical data on personnel on bespoke HR software
- Enjoy exceptional prospects for promotion
- Move into specialist support roles, such as a Chartered Accountant
- Fantastic travel opportunities: there are Army HR Specialists in every British Embassy around the world
Personal Qualities :
- We welcome people into the Army from all backgrounds
- There is no ‘typical’ Soldier candidate! You don’t need any military experience, just an appetite to take on responsibility and be part of a team
Skills Required :
- You must have a basic level of fitness and be able to work well in a group
- Good communication skills
Future Prospects :
- Promotion to Lance Corporal may follow after about 3 years as a Private. As your career progresses, you’ll have the chance to work towards other qualifications that may include a fully funded degree in HR or certifying as a chartered accountant
