Job description

Catering with impact. Get an extra £6,500, when you join as a Regular Army Chef*.

As a full-time soldier, entry-level Chef in the British Army, you’ll:

  • Provide everything from fine dining and state banquets to humanitarian aid and disaster relief
  • Be part of a highly respected, specialist team
  • Give soldiers the energy and morale they need to complete any mission
  • Achieve the highest culinary standards in the most challenging environments
  • Gain qualifications up to degree level in food, hygiene, and health and safety

To qualify, you must be between 16 years 6 months and 35 years 6 months and pass a basic fitness test.

Set yourself up for life.

During your initial training, you’ll earn £18,687, after which your salary will rise to £23,496. If you set your mind to it, you could reach Corporal within 5 years, earning £33,065.

You’ll also receive 30 days’ annual leave every year (plus bank holidays and extra leave after operations), free medical and dental care, cheaper living costs, and free gym and sports facilities. And unless you're away on operations or training exercises, you'll normally work 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

From your very first day of training with us, you’ll be gaining transferrable skills – skills that could set you up for life. You don’t need to know how to do the job before you get here, because we’ll give you all the entry-level training you need.

You’ll even get to travel the world, taking part in the Army’s adventurous training, and spending dedicated time playing the sports you love.
