A rallying call has been issued to junior NCOs and officers asking them to use their experience to bring fresh blood into the ranks.
Three dozen troops are being sought to join four new UK outreach teams and good career opportunities are promised for the successful applicants.
They are tasked with engaging people from under-represented groups – including women and ethnic minorities – explaining how a career in soldiering looks.
Army Recruiting Group CO Lt Col Vickie Warrington (RE) said those with four or five years’ experience who had sampled adventurous training, operations or exercises would be ideal candidates.
She told Soldier: “They need to be equally confident speaking to professionals as they are young people.
“They will be visible role models – people who are enthusiastic and able to speak about their own experience.”
Based in Aldershot, Chilwell, Stafford and Edinburgh, each team will be headed up by an army officer.
“We’re looking at soldiers from lance corporal through to captain,” Lt Col Warrington added. “They will show the army is a place where everyone can belong.”
