Do you want to unleash your sense of adventure, explore places you’ve never been to, make new friends that become your second family and experience unique opportunities you wouldn’t anywhere else?

Highlighting our Bristol and Birmingham Units, join our Virtual Royal Naval Reserve Experience on Tuesday 1st December and hear directly from the teams about life in the Reserve and what it can offer you.

Who are the Reserve?

Doctors, call centre managers, students, receptionists, factory workers, nurses, project managers, IT specialists, teachers, full-time parents... the list goes on. They’re ordinary people, doing something truly extraordinary. By balancing civilian life with a part-time Royal Navy career, they don’t do the everyday, every day.

About Us

The Royal Naval Reserve, together with the Royal Marines Reserve, form the Maritime Reserve.

The Royal Naval Reserve’s involvement in protecting our nation's interests ranges from conflict operations, to counter-terrorism and anti-piracy work. As a Reserve, you’ll also have a role to play in providing security at sea and humanitarian assistance across the globe. In many cases you’ll be indistinguishable from your regular counterparts.

With a basic commitment of 24 days a year, you’ll take part in training exercises, defence drills and adventure activities, often overseas.

You'll develop skills that will benefit your career, experience adventures you couldn't have anywhere else, and serve your community – all alongside your day job.
