Career path

About Jack S.

Main motivation

In my current position, I love supporting Headquarters, as this allows me to use my skills and knowledge that I have built up after a few years in this job. This also gives me the opportunity to help teach newer soldiers on our process and procedures, as well as different types of kit we might use. With the Corps Engagement Team, I like how independent the team is, and how well we help plan and run different events.

Greatest achievement
In 2022, I was given the opportunity to represent my Regiment, Corps and the Army on the international sports stage. I was part of the flag team during the medal ceremonies at Alexander Stadium, I am immensely proud of this as it was my first time away from my home unit, and it allowed me to develop into a better soldier, being able to work in a small team of people I had only just met.

Do I need gcse maths for the cyber engineer role?

I don't have gcse maths but I do have gcse computer science? I also have a foundation apprenticeship in software development that is roughly equivalent to an A level computing qualification. Would this be enough? IT does say maths OR ICT so just wondering?
