Army - Armour Centre Support Unit Team Leader

The ARMCEN Support Unit is responsible for enabling the life support functions of the permanent staff, students and military families based at the Garrison. The Team Leader is responsible for managing the outputs of the team, with a particular responsibility for Welfare, SHEF, Force Health Protection, Security, Physical Development and Garrison Admin. The Support Unit is essential to the effective daily running of the Garrison - without it, the training and Garrison outputs would be impossible to deliver. The role of Team Leader is dynamic, varied, interesting and rewarding, leading and managing a team of subject matter experts in their fields and ensuring that the Garrison is understood and correctly represented within the wider military and local Government and civilian community.

The Ministry of Defence employs over 50,000 Civil Servants. Within that, the Army Top Level Budget (TLB) employs around 7,000 MOD Civil Servants located at over 300 locations. Ours is a diverse workforce, with roles ranging from trainers, human resources, teachers, and psychologists to storekeepers, financiers, project and programme managers, and policy secretariat staff. There are many different functions and professions delivering key outputs for the Army.

The post is in Bovington Camp, home of the Armour Centre (ARMCEN) and is a British Army base located in Dorset which, together with Lulworth Camp, forms the Bovington Garrison. ARMCEN has been the home of the British Army's tank training since 1916. The camp is a matter of miles from the south coast and is part of the world heritage site that is The Jurassic Coast. The Garrison consists of three barrack complexes and two forest/heathland training areas that support the delivery of Initial Trade Training (ITT) for soldiers of the Royal Armoured Corps, the Royal Engineers and the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers as well as Subsequent Trade Training (STT) for many other Defence units. It is also home to the British Army's Trials Unit and the Royal Marine Armour Support Group.
