Pilot: Your role as a pilot in the RAF is as varied as the aircraft you can fly. Once you’ve completed initial training, you’ll be selected for fast-jet, multi-engine or rotary-wing streams. You’ll then receive further training on the aircraft type you’ve been assigned to, before becoming ‘combat ready’. As the pilot of a Tornado, your primary role will be air-to-air combat or ground attack. In a Hercules transport aircraft, you could be sent anywhere in the world on military support or humanitarian aid missions. In a helicopter your duties might include anything from search and rescue flights to ferrying troops and equipment into combat zones.

We may be able to invest in your future by funding your studies until you’re ready to start training as a Pilot.
You can apply to join the RAF as a pilot directly from sixth form. We provide £2,000 sponsorship and, once you’ve joined, you can study for an OU degree as part of the In-Service Degree programme. Alternatively, you can apply for a Sixth Form Scholarship of £1,000, followed by a University Bursary of £1,000 a year if you do a degree. In return, we ask you to become a member of the University Air Squadron (or Air Training Corps while you’re at school) and to join the RAF once you finish your studies.
As well as financial support, it’s an opportunity to get first-hand experience of the challenges you’ll face working with our people, technology and aircraft – and we’ll also give you free flying lessons!
To find out more, contact an RAF Senior Careers Liaison Officer via the careers staff at your school or college – or visit your local AFCO.
Navigator (weapon systems operator): Life as a Weapon Systems Officer is never dull. Whether you’re in the back seat of a Tornado finding targets, or playing a vital role in a Nimrod aircraft hunting submarines, you can look forward to exciting times. Although your personal preferences will be taken into consideration, aptitude and RAF requirements are the main factors in deciding which aircraft you’ll be allocated to after your basic flying training. Following more advanced flying training, you’ll be posted to an Operational Conversion Unit to be trained on the aircraft type – fast-jet, multi-engine or rotary – and in the role you’ll be flying on your first tour of productive duty.
RAF Regiment:
(1) Gunner: Gunners are the ground-fighting troops of the RAF. As a Gunner, your job will take you worldwide: wherever the RAF goes, you’ll be part of a specialised, elite force defending our personnel, aircraft, buildings and vehicles. Gunners operate the Rapier surface-to-air missile system to shoot down enemy aircraft in all weathers, day or night. You could also patrol bases, operate from helicopters in special security operations, join the Queen’s Colour Squadron for ceremonial duties and jump as a parachutist in the RAF Regiment.
(2) Officer: The RAF Regiment is an elite fighting force that provides ground and short-range air defence to RAF operational assets anywhere in the world. As a Regiment Officer, you’ll have the chance to serve in both Rapier and Field squadrons, in addition to training non-Regiment personnel in defensive combat duties. You could also find yourself leading a short-term training team in almost any country. Wherever your career takes you, you’re a leader first and foremost – and we’ll train you to make decisions under all kinds of pressure.
Medic: There are doctors and then there are RAF doctors – as our Medical Officers soon find out. We know you’re a dedicated professional, so we’ll give you the modern facilities, training and back-up to help you develop your GP or specialist skills. You can enter as a General Duties Medical Officer (GDMO) or as a specialist. You’ll receive postgraduate training in your specialism as well as training in aviation medicine.
It’s possible that you could go on an aeromedical evacuation, where you would provide vital assistance on search-and-rescue missions or emergency relief flights worldwide. As a GDMO you’ll spend about 18 months in vocational hospital-based training posts, followed by another 18 months working in a Medical Centre on an RAF base approved for GP vocational training. Specialists will also start with a short tour to familiarise themselves with station life before joining a specialist environment.
For more information about a career as a Medical Officer in the RAF, call 01400 266811 and speak to one of our specialist advisers.

We may be able to invest in your future by funding your studies until you’re ready to start training as a Medical Officer.
You can apply for a University Cadetship of £10,400–£14,600 per year for the last three years of your degree and a University Bursary of £4,000 a year for the first two years. And if you’re in the Sixth Form, you may qualify for a Sixth Form Scholarship of £2,000. In return, we ask you to become a member of the University Air Squadron (or Air Training Corps while you’re at school) and to join the RAF once you’re fully registered with the General Medical Council.
As well as financial support, it’s an opportunity to get first-hand experience of the challenges you’ll face working with our people, technology and aircraft – and we’ll also give you free flying lessons!
There are also opportunities for potential Medical Officers to go to Welbeck – the Defence Sixth Form College. Here, you’ll study a maths and science-based curriculum as well as enjoying sports, social and leadership activities that will prepare you for RAF officer life.
To find out more, contact an RAF Senior Careers Liaison Officer via the careers staff at your school or college – or visit your local AFCO.
Intelligence: The RAF’s Intelligence specialisation gathers, analyses and provides defence intelligence – both in peace and war. It’s a highly specialised field that offers exciting opportunities within a fast-moving, international environment. After your training, you could be attached to an operational flying squadron as a tactical Imagery Analyst. Your abilities will be tested to the full as you rapidly interpret incoming reconnaissance imagery.
Alternatively, you could be a Squadron Intelligence Officer producing intelligence assessments in order to brief aircrews before their missions. Or you could be posted to the Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre (JARIC) at RAF Brampton, or even Headquarters Strike Command – where you’ll help produce a strategic overview of the intelligence picture.
