Volunteer ex-Regular Reserve
Use your military skills and experience to deliver Defence outputs on a part-time, non-binding commitment
Am I eligible?
Any ex-Regular or Reservist with the skills and experience required of the post is eligible to join.
What do I get?
VeRR service is a period of service undertaken by ex-Regular (and sometimes Reservist personnel) with relevant skills and experience to meet requirements to deliver projects and other outputs.
The number of days you can work on this commitment may be limited, and is dependent upon the requirement of your Service.
VeRR commitments are non-binding voluntary appointments similar to Part Time Volunteer Reserve engagements but focussed more on delivering output rather than undertaking training for operations.
You will receive attendance-based pay, pay in lieu of annual leave, and travelling expenses to and from duty. Because this is a non-binding commitment, VeRR service has no impact on your pension benefits or any Special Capital payments you may have received for your former Regular Service.
Don’t Forget
Defence has an ongoing requirement to undertake and deliver a broad range of supporting functions, specialist projects and roles. One way of meeting this need is by employing VeRRs who, on leaving Regular or Reserve service, were identified as having the experience and skills which make them suitable for such duties, irrespective of other liabilities.
