WHAT CAN THE RAF OFFER YOU ?
The RAF is one of the world ’ s most advanced military forces , offering exciting opportunities to the right people . If you ’ re looking for a responsible job that ’ s challenging and rewarding , we probably have a career for you .
Whether operating at home or overseas , the RAF has important responsibilities . We defend UK airspace and provide support to the wider community in times of need . Around the world , new kinds of crisis mean that we have to respond at a moment ’ s notice ; for example , to control the airspace over a combat zone or deliver aid to people in need .
These are tough challenges that demand the best people : those who have initiative and can work under pressure . We ’ re not nine-to-fivers – we do whatever is required to get the job done .
It can be hard work , but you ’ ll get plenty of training and support , a generous pay and benefits package , and six weeks ’ holiday each year . And if you do well , you ’ ll soon be eligible for promotion .
‘ Work hard , play hard ’ is our ethos . We make time for all our people to take part in sports . So whether you ’ re into football or fencing , tennis or target shooting , there ’ ll be something for you . And we ’ ll give you support and training to try things you wouldn ’ t normally get to do – anything from skydiving to potholing .
