Human Resource Specialist

ACC Edinburgh | Edinburgh | findajob.dwp.gov.uk |
The Army is more than just combat; it’s a place to do something that really matters. As part of the Adjutant Generals Corps an Army HR job is like no other HR job. As a 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. You’ll have responsibility from day one and the chance to move up into senior roles – Chartered Accountant, for example. You can get qualifications and develop your skills too. They’re recognised outside the Army so they’re great for your CV.
With worldwide travel, adventure training and the chance to make friends for life, it’s exciting as well as rewarding.

Find where you belong.
