Balance with a Civilian Job

Keeping up With Daily Life:

Becoming a Royal Naval Reservist is perfect for people who want a busy and fulfilling life. Balancing your job, home life and Royal Naval Reserve duties is a challenge, but one that can be personally and financially rewarding.
 
The Royal Naval Reserve is made up of people with many different skill sets, from teachers and office administrators to nurses and full-time students. There are thousands of people who balance their daily lives with their naval duties. With Royal Navy Reserve units located around the UK if you move jobs or relocate, you can transfer to a different unit in order to continue your career.

Informing Your Employer:

Serving in the Royal Naval Reserve means you’ll need periods away from your civilian job for training and possibly deployment, so a flexible and honest relationship with your employer is essential. In return they’ll have a satisfied and dedicated employee who strives to meet challenges in the workplace.

Getting Stuck In:

If you get a buzz out of training and exercise, and learning new skills, the Royal Naval Reserve is the place to be. You’ll get fit and push your abilities, but you’ll also make friends and have fun. Some weekends and evenings will be dedicated to training, so there are plenty of chances to get stuck into the action.

Putting Your Training into Practice:

It is very likely that you will be called up for active service while serving as a Royal Naval Reservist, and this is where all your hard work comes into play. You’ll get to see new places and do things most people can only dream of, while keeping the safety net of your civilian job for when you return. If you’re up for the challenge, serving as a Royal Naval Reservist is the best of both worlds.
