    Hi there,


    Firstly, the role of veterinary technician is not available for junior entry. The age range to apply for this position is between 17 years and 6 months and 35 years and 6 months. Additionally, you must be a veterinary nurse and registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.


    If you are passionate about working with animals in the Army, there are several roles you might consider. You could become a Dog Handler, where you would train and work with military dogs. Alternatively, you might look into joining the Household Cavalry, where you would have the opportunity to work with military horses.
