  • Your Career Guide
    ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE Your career guide YOUR ROLE | THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET | THE PLACES YOU’LL GO WELCOME For most people, the demands of a job and family life are enough. However, some have ambitions that go beyond the everyday. You may be one of them. In which case, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for in the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who provide the Royal Navy with the additional trained people it needs at times of tension, humanitarian crisis, or conflict. As a Reservist, you’ll have to meet the same fitness and academic requirements, wear the same uniform, do much of the same training and, when needed, be deployed in the same places and situations as the regulars. Plus, you’ll be paid for the training and active service that you do. Serving with the Royal Naval Reserve is a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. For some, it’s a stepping stone to a Royal Navy career; for others, a chance to develop skills, knowledge and personal qualities that will help them in their civilian work. Many join simply because they want to be part of the Royal Navy but know they can’t commit to joining full-time. Taking on a vital military role alongside your existing family and work commitments requires a great deal of dedication, energy and enthusiasm. In return, we offer fantastic opportunities for adventure, travel, personal development and friendships that can last a lifetime.
