Huddersfield

Taking that first step into our office can seem quite daunting – but rest assured we’ll make you feel at ease.

You’ll be greeted by someone like Warrant Officer Class 2 Nick ‘Radar’ McConnell. Having originally joined as a part-time (Territorial Army) soldier and experienced the excitement and challenges of Army training first hand, Nick was convinced that he wanted to progress on a full-time basis. That was almost 30 years ago, at the same Huddersfield office in which he now works. So between Nick and the rest of the team, they’ve got plenty of Army experience to share with you.

When you get here
We wear uniforms in the office but apart from that it’s very informal. Work clothes or jeans and trainers, we don’t care what you wear. The important thing is getting to know a bit about you. One of us will sit down with you and just have a chat about your life and the things you’d like to do. To find out if the Army is right for you, we’ll give you an idea of all the jobs you might want to look at – anything from chefs to tank crewmen, nurses to vehicle mechanics, electricians and much more – and give you a feel for Army life.

Ask us anything
Most people ask us a bout the fitness and training side of things, what the career prospects are like, operations, the money and where you’ll live. Don’t be afraid to ask.

What happens next?
We’ll give you loads to think about after your first meeting, and you’re welcome to pop back any time. Then, if you want to take it further, we’ll weigh and measure you to check your Body Mass Index (BMI). Then arrange a formal interview for you and give you an Army Contact form, an Army DVD and your application pack to take away. We can also arrange your British Army Recruitment Battery (BARB) test.
