The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the United Kingdom's air and space force. Whether in the skies above the United Kingdom, or around the world, the RAF protect the UK's interests at home and abroad. They also act as a force for good by working to strengthen international peace and security.
By working for the RAF, not only will you gain a professional qualification that’s recognised in the civilian world, you’ll also have a guaranteed job in your chosen role once you’ve completed Phase 1 and 2 training. You’ll receive the very best training and, whilst being paid to learn, you’ll get the chance to travel the world, play sport and perform an important role in the RAF as well as being able to access world-class benefits.

"I joined the RAF as a People Specialist to travel the world, find adventure and develop new skills. Now I represent the RAF on the Bobsleigh Team travelling all over Europe. I love working with and supporting people and have made memories that will last a lifetime."
- Iva, People Specialist
Joining the RAF will bring you a raft of opportunities and benefits. You’ll be paid as soon as you start initial training, and accommodation, food and sport will all be subsidised along with free health and dental care.
You can choose to play sport at multiple levels whether it’s casually on base with friends or representing the RAF on an international level. There’s choice too, whether you want to take on adventure training at weekends, travelling to areas of the world you never thought you’d see or you want to spend spare time visiting friends and family.
With opportunities nationwide, joining RAF means working alongside the brightest minds and learning through valuable hands-on experience and formal training – developing a rewarding career, from day one.
