Working for the MOD

The Ministry of Defence is unique. So you won't be surprised that we offer some very unique opportunities.

What other organisation....

• offers you truly international influence?
• gives you unparalleled scope for commercial innovation?
• gives you access to world leading IT applications?
• puts you right at the heart of government?
• gives you the chance to revolutionise the way it does things?
• offers you more support roles than you ever imagined?
• invests over £85 million in your training and development?

For a truly extraordinary range of career opportunities - and individual career paths - the Ministry of Defence is in a league of its own.

But that should come as no surprise.

Employing tens of thousands of civilians we are one of the biggest and most progressive organisations in the country. Our people advise Government Ministers on policy. They repair ships and aircraft. They purchase major weapons systems, develop leading-edge computer applications, and ensure the effectiveness of our armed forces wherever they are serving.

That's just the beginning.

We also employ caterers, linguists, teachers, radio officers, press officers, management consultants, vets, psychologists, photographers, surveyors, webmasters - in fact, over 80 areas of expertise, each making an important contribution to our success as we modernise to meet the challenges of the modern world.

So you can expect careers that offer enormous scope for personal and professional development. You will join an open, flexible, and creative environment - one that gives you the freedom to acquire multiple skills, the opportunity to gain experience across a whole range of activities, flexibility to move into new roles and even switch careers altogether as the MOD itself evolves to meet new demands and priorities.

It's all about achieving results. It's about responding to continuous change. It's about exceeding your own career expectations and making a real difference to the world you live in.
