  • Good salary package and numerous benefits
  • Develop your potential with fully paid leadership training
  • Learn what it takes to lead a team of highly capable Navy personnel

Your role:

Take this great opportunity to develop as a leader with the Navy building your ability to think on your feet, prioritise, take in Information to make decisions and direct the play on the bridge of a ship.  Learn what it’s like to be the Commanding Officer’s representative – the point person for executing the safe navigation and general operations of the ship.

Maritime Warfare Officers need to understand all aspects of the running of a Navy ship so during your Gap Year you will also get a taste of other areas including engineering, and logistics and aviation departments providing a great overview of the Navy organisation – as well as having the opportunity to travel while you do it.

The position of Maritime Warfare Officer is highly respected where you will learn from those in executive roles. You will observe Maritime Warfare Officers leading their bridge team and directing other areas of the ship to get the job done – this includes navigation, managing any issues that arise or the safe operation of helicopters on and off the ships as just some examples. You will also learn how Maritime Warfare Officers manage their team’s training, career development and welfare.

Coupled with the highest standard of leadership training, the skills you’ll gain across this role are transferable to other management and leadership positions and will provide you with a unique edge.

This action-packed role isn’t just reserved for people that are straight out of school. It’s a unique opportunity where you’ll get the chance to try out a year in the Navy working alongside fully qualified Maritime Warfare Officers, all without needing any prior qualifications. You’ll get paid to travel and gain invaluable life and work experience while making friendships that could last a lifetime.

Life in the Navy Gap Year Program:

The Navy Gap Year Program is a one-year commitment that takes you well beyond the ordinary to experience everything the Navy has to offer. Whether you’re sailing across the seas by ship, exploring the ocean’s depths by submarine or soaring above by helicopter, you’ll be given skills and experiences which could extend into a longer-term role in the Navy or elsewhere.

On top of the many benefits you get from a job in the Navy, you’ll also experience a very supportive and collaborative team environment to help you thrive.                                                                                                           

Salary:

During your 12-month role, you’ll receive a salary package starting from $33,126.

In addition to your salary, you will receive generous superannuation, housing subsidies, free medical and dental care, service and uniform allowances, as well as a Maritime Allowance (if applicable).
