Officer jobs
As an officer in the Royal Air Force, you’ll be expected to lead from the front. In every aspect of your work, you will set the standard for men and women under your command.
With 20 different roles to choose from, you’ll be able to find one to suit your skills and aspirations.
As an RAF officer, you’ll receive world-class leadership training, professional qualifications and competitive pay and benefits, along with early responsibility and a defined structure for career progression.
The training offered differs according to your role. Most officers begin their career with the 30-week Initial Officer Training (IOT) course at the RAF College Cranwell in Lincolnshire. On successful completion of IOT, you'll move on to do your professional training. You’ll also continue to have regular training and assessment throughout your career.
As a professionally qualified officer (e.g. a Medical or Legal Officer), your initial training course will be shortened to 11 weeks, but you’ll still receive a thorough grounding in RAF knowledge and military skills to prepare you for the challenges ahead.
You don’t have to be a graduate to be an officer; you just need to display the attributes for your particular role. If you join the RAF as an airman, airwoman or non-commissioned aircrew or Air Traffic Controller, there may also be opportunities for you to earn a Queen’s commission and become an officer at a later date.
If you’re looking for a challenging career with real responsibility right from the start, you could find it as an RAF officer.
