Deploying MOD Civil Servants overseas to provide critical support to operations.
Security cleared British nationals on a permanent contract looking to support one of the department’s top priorities. Deploying as an MOD Civil Servant on military operations is a unique professional and personal journey. You’ll work in demanding environments, shoulder real responsibility, and become part of a deployed military community. This is a significant life moment that will stretch and develop you.
An operational tour is both a challenge and a privilege. It will test your adaptability, resilience, and professionalism. But it will also reward you with unmatched experience, personal growth, and the knowledge that you made a real contribution to defence operations.
These unique opportunities provide you with:
The ability to refine the skills you already possess and gain new ones.
Develop your leadership skills.
Work at the fore front of Defence Operations overseas.
Build your confidence, working alongside military colleagues in unique environments.
Attractive operational allowance packages (dependent on location).
Receive specialist training to prepare you for the environment.
