SOLDIER (RIFLEMAN – PART TIME)
Why join the Army Reserve?
If you’re looking for a new challenge, the Army Reserve could be for you. You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of giving something back to Australia, while benefitting from:
tax-free daily pay
free healthcare and accommodation when serving
a flexible time commitment
comprehensive training
rewarding work that’s in complete contrast to your day job
a supportive team environment
friendships that last a lifetime
All that plus exciting opportunities supporting Army domestic activities, including exercises and operations, with potential deployments overseas in support of Australian and coalition personnel.
Your part-time role
In the part-time role of Rifleman, a few of your weekends (and periods away from work) will be packed with excitement and adventure.
You’ll specialise in patrolling, cordon and search, surveillance and infantry tactics; and the tools of your trade will include rifles, grenade launchers, light weapons and night fighting equipment.
If you love operating independently while working in a close-knit team, and have the strength of character to carry on with your tasks regardless of challenging conditions, this could be the opportunity to really prove what you’re capable of.
Sounds good? If you’re ready for an exciting new challenge in the Army Reserve, apply now.
