As a Guardsman you will receive world class Infantry training to prepare you to serve as either Light Role Infantry or Mechanised Infantry.

As an Infanteer in the Guards, you will serve in some of the most exciting locations in the world and benefit from a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

The dual role of the Guards means that you will also have the honour to conduct State Ceremonial and Public Duties, primarily in London, where our Guardsmen are in the spotlight during some of the nation’s most memorable events, such as the state funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II and the Coronation of HM King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

For a life of variety, opportunity and adventure join the Guards.
