"I never expected to experience so many different things when I came to the RAF! I was part of the crew making sure the people on flights from Afghanistan were safe one week, then flying to Cyprus and America the next. The job changes all the time. I knew I just wanted to fly but I wasn’t able to get a job on a commercial airline so becoming an Air and Ground Steward (AGS) was the perfect opportunity for me to get on a plane and do the job I wanted to do." - Amy, Air and Ground Steward

About RAF

The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the United Kingdom's air and space force. Whether in the skies above the United Kingdom, or around the world, the RAF protect the UK's interests at home and abroad. They also act as a force for good by working to strengthen international peace and security.

By working for the RAF, not only will you gain a professional qualification that’s recognised in the civilian world, you’ll also have a guaranteed job in your chosen role once you’ve completed it. You’ll receive the very best training and, whilst being paid to learn, you’ll get the chance to travel the world, play sport and perform an important role in the RAF as well as being able to access dedicated on-base medical and dental care.

I wanted a job where I could work with and help people, so I joined the RAF as a People Specialist. I’ve had the opportunity to support personnel with deployments, promotions, and career transitions. The RAF also funds incredible experiences—like a skiing trip to Austria where I was trained by a professional. Plus, there’s great work-life balance, with flexible working, gym time during work hours, and remote work options. - Neve, RAF People Specialist
