BENEFITS
We look after our people . You will soon find that , as well as job satisfaction , support and excellent training , there are many other benefits . And with a huge range of ceremonial events , community engagements , sports and adventurous training opportunities available , life outside your primary role will be anything but general .
The RAF offers you the chance to enjoy many sports , including football , rugby , sailing , martial arts and netball . Generous financial investment means you will have all the facilities , training and equipment on tap .
Adventurous training will take you to remote places around the world where you can test yourself to the limit . We also have several training centres here in the UK , such as the RAF Force Development Training Centre at Fairbourne in Wales , which offers caving , abseiling , kayaking and hillwalking .
Expeditions – such as snow boarding in the Alps or dog sledding in the Canadian Rockies – are often organised by the RAF at a fraction of
the usual cost . While enjoying a wild , beautiful landscape you can gain self-knowledge , sharpen your leadership skills and learn to recognise the personal attributes of others .
There are also regular opportunities in the RAF to volunteer to attend at Ceremonial events , with the Festival of Remembrance and the Cenotaph Remembrance Parade , being two of the most notable .
Being a member of the Princess Mary ’ s Royal Air Force Nursing Service ( PMRAFNS ) also offers you the opportunity to apply to the PMRAFNS Trust for one of the bespoke annual travel scholarship to study developments in professional / clinical practice .
