Navy Command

Navy Command

The Royal Navy is a whole-force organisation, bringing together the Regular Royal Navy and Royal Marines, Reserves, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, contractors and Civil Servants to deliver Defence's vital mission. Working across a diverse range of professions and specialisms, our people are at the heart of everything we do.

We believe that different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds make us stronger. As a modern and inclusive employer, we are committed to building a workforce that reflects modern Britain and creates opportunities for everyone to succeed.

At the Royal Navy, diversity is more than a principle, it is a strength. We foster a culture where people feel valued, respected and empowered to bring their whole selves to work. We celebrate individuality and recognise that everyone has something unique to contribute.

We are committed to helping our people reach their full potential. Whether through learning and development, professional accreditation, apprenticeships or career progression opportunities, we invest in your growth and support you throughout your career journey.

Civil Servants play a vital role in delivering the Royal Navy's success. By providing professional expertise, continuity and innovation, they help shape the future of Defence. A Civil Service career within the Royal Navy offers a unique combination of purpose, challenge and variety, with opportunities that are difficult to find elsewhere in government.

Many of our roles also offer hybrid working opportunities, allowing a blend of workplace attendance and home working where the role permits, helping you achieve a healthy balance between your professional and personal commitments.
