Nursing Officer

As a Nursing Officer, you’ll join Queen Alexandra’s Royal Naval Nursing Service (QARNNS), leading a team providing medical support to Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel on shore and at sea, in the UK and around the world. As part of your training, you’ll work at sea within the 100-bed primary casualty receiving facility (PCRF) on board RFA Argus. You may train as part of a surgical team on shore, developing the skills you’ll need to work in hostile environments. In peacetime, you’ll work in MOD hospital units in, for example, Plymouth, Portsmouth or Birmingham and in medical centres around the UK and overseas. Alongside your clinical work, you’ll be responsible for managing and mentoring junior nurses and medical assistants. During your career, you’ll have the opportunity to carry out specialist courses in areas such as intensive care, operating theatres, emergency medicine, orthopaedics, primary care and mental health, which we will pay for. Even on a short commission, you’ll gain clinical and management experience which few civilian nurses could imagine.

Marine Engineer Officer (Submariner)

As a Marine Engineer Officer (Submariner), you’ll lead a team of highly-skilled technicians, with responsibility for maintaining the hull, engines, power, water, air and water purification and hydraulics systems – plus, of course, the nuclear reactor. In an emergency, you’ll also lead a damage-control and firefighting team, reporting directly to the Captain. When you’re not at sea, you could join an integrated project team, reviewing and improving the performance of the submarine, or get involved in training Marine Engineering Technicians. A Royal Navy submarine combines the engineering challenges of a warship and a nuclear power station and, given the hostile, alien environment it inhabits, a spacecraft. It’s a career offering challenges and rewards you literally won’t find anywhere else in engineering.
