At first glance\, a service career and boarding education might appear worlds apart.

There are also non-teaching opportunities that do not require degrees. \nJoin Mark Mortimer\, Director of Defence & Military Services\, Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA) to find out more. Mark is an ex-Infantry Officer and has served as Head at three leading boarding schools. \n\nFind out more about opportunities to work in residential education – no degree needed.\nAsk questions you may have about roles and responsibilities in boarding schools.\nHear Mark Mortimer\, ex-boarding school Headteacher and ex-Infantry Officer explain the synergies between service life and school life.\nUnderstand how you can enrol onto the BSA’s resettlement programme.\n\nBOOK NOW \n\nSpeaker:
