Royal Navy Reserves
UoS Careers and Employability
The RNR provides specific capabilities that the Navy
needs to succeed in operations. Without the
contribution of the Reserves, the Royal Navy could not
conduct its many activities from anti-piracy,
counterterrorism, or delivering humanitarian aid.
When new members of the RNR complete their basic
training, they join one of five branches. These are
Warfare, Information, Engineering, Logistics and
Medical. Within each branch, there is a wide range of
roles which members of that branch can be trained to
undertake. HMS King Alfred is the south coast unit
which is situated on Whale Island in Portsmouth.
How confident are you about your CV? It might have
served you adequately in the past but competition
for graduate positions is fierce. Don’t risk losing out
on your dream job because of an average CV! Bring it
