Benefits

A future in the Royal Navy means much more than a monthly salary. It's worldwide travel, non-stop professional development, friends and skills you'll have for life, and a career like no other. And that's just the start. There’s a raft of practical perks too, because we believe in rewarding our people for the hard work they do - and that goes far beyond a pay packet.

Further help and support during deployment

Deployment Support

Deployments can be a difficult time not only for serving personnel, but for the families they leave behind. That's why the Royal Navy has made a special commitment to helping service personnel's parents, spouses, partners and children maintain their physical and emotional wellbeing during times of separation.

Keeping in touch

Deployments are exciting opportunities for our personnel to travel and experience new things – but they can also put strain on life at home. That’s why we actively encourage regular communication with loved ones, both to maintain a healthy relationship and to boost morale.
