Skip to main contentMinistry of Defence – Royal Navy
The Royal Navy is a ‘whole force’ organisation made up of employees from the Regular Royal Navy and Royal Marines, Reserves, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, Contractors and the Civil Service working across a wide range of professions and roles. The diversity of our people, their talent and experiences are fundamental to our organisational effectiveness and also demonstrates our commitment as a modern and inclusive employer. Both the Royal Navy and the Civil Service share a vision which is to ensure that we are representative of modern Britain and to be truly considered an example to other employers.
The Royal Navy strives to create an organisation and culture where diversity is not only respected and valued creating a culture where everyone can bring their whole self to work and individuality is truly appreciated and celebrated. We support our people to achieve their full potential; we maximise career opportunities through learning and development, attainment of professional accreditation, profession-based apprenticeships and opportunities for career progression – regardless of their background as this is fundamental to getting the best from all our people.
The Civil Service is a critical and valued component of the Royal Navy’s workforce for the range of professional skills, flexibility and continuity it provides to the delivery of our outputs. A Civil Service Career supporting the Royal Navy, as part of the wider Ministry of Defence, offers a unique blend of challenge and variety not found elsewhere in other Government Departments.
Many roles may be suitable for hybrid working, which is an informal, non-contractual and voluntary arrangement, blending a balance of attendance in the workplace as per the Locations below and working from home as a personal choice (if the role is suitable for this).
