About the Role

The more we know about enemy positions the better and as a Special Observer you’ll give us a clearest picture. You join a team of six that works ahead of friendly forces – sometimes behind enemy lines. You then report back on what you see. You might also direct fire from artillery, attack helicopters, jets or missiles to destroy enemy targets. We’ll give you first-class training, but you have to be fit, quick-thinking and a team player. You can add to your skills with qualifications in English, Maths and IT. With travel and Adventurous Training, it’s an amazing experience.
