Preston, England, United Kingdom

I am currently employed as a JNCO in the OTNW. My main job role is to guide, inform and recruit potential new recruits into the British Army by doing various events such as job fairs and visiting colleges and universities etc. to do a look at life into what a career in the British Army would look like.

I joined the British Army in March 2016 and wanting a challenge and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve been on various overseas deployments performing a wide range of responsibilities from medical to logistical to force protection. The main skill I have definitely taken away from this is to be adaptable as many people would agree not every day is the same in the army and sometimes you are required to go that extra mile or to step out of your normal/daily routine.From a young age the British Army has given me the ability to work well in within a team in a variety of challenging work environments whilst maintaining team cohesion and morale.
