How we support Royal Navy and Royal Air Force (RAF) recruitment

Our recruitment medical administrators and senior medical administrators are on-hand to assist RAF & Royal Navy candidates throughout the medical stages of their application process.

Recruitment medical administrators liaise with candidates, Armed Forces Careers offices and medical experts to answer queries and support the candidate through all medical aspects of their application. They also organise, store, coordinate and process candidate paperwork, and interact with third party providers – such as a candidate’s registered GP – where necessary and appropriate.

Senior medical administrators support team leaders in coordinating the day-to-day operations of the team, such as quality checks, performance monitoring, invoice tracking and complaint handling.
