Summary
Movement Controller
Full-time
As a Movement Controller you'll be at the centre of defence activity internationally and co-ordinate the movement of soldiers and equipment all over the world. It’s your job to direct and prepare troops, vehicles and equipment for transport by road, rail, sea and air. It’s a great opportunity to travel whilst gaining qualifications that are recognised outside the Army. You need to be organised and good with people, including the UK's Allied partners, commercial organisations and senior soldiers and officers. It also helps if you’re able to think on your feet.
Find where you belong.
WORLD-CLASS TRAINING
If you want to be a Movement Controller, you'll start with your initial military training which will teach you how to be a soldier - this will cover everything from fieldcraft to how to handle a rifle. If you join as a Junior Soldier (under 17 years 5 months), you’ll do a 23-week basic military training course at Harrogate. If you join as a Regular Soldier (over 17 years 1 month), you’ll do the regular 14-week adult basic training.
After this, you have a 7-week course at RAF Brize Norton to learn your trade. You’ll be supervised by experienced staff and trained to monitor transport, put movement plans into action and enforce regulations. We’ll also teach you about reserving seats, berths and stowage space.
GAIN QUALIFICATIONS
The Army can help you gain a range of qualifications. These could include:
• Level 2 Certificate Logistics & Transport
• Affiliate Membership of CILT
• Level 2 Apprenticeship International Trade & Logistics
• Lvl 3 Cert Global Logistics
• Lvl 5 Diploma Logistics & Tpt
• BSc(Hons) Logistic Mgmt (University of Lincoln)
SHOW PEOPLE WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF
We'll be with you every step of the way as you move up the ranks. From the moment you begin your training you'll get all the support and encouragement you need to make a success of your career. Work hard and you'll soon get promoted, which means more responsibility and extra pay.
Become a Movement Controller and you’ll:
- Earn a starting salary of around £16,844 during Basic Training which will rise to £21,425 after completing 26 weeks’ training or after completing your Initial Trade Training, if less than 26 weeks
- Receive subsidised accommodation and facilities, increasing your disposable income
