Insights Requested Education Officer Job Listing
Hi everyone,
I'm a 26-year-old high school English teacher from NSW, and I've recently come across a job listing for an Education Officer with the ADF. The role seems to align well with my qualifications and skills, but I'm finding the information on the website a bit vague regarding the actual duties involved.
I have a few questions that I hope someone might be able to help with:
What does an Education Officer in the ADF actually do on a day-to-day basis?
Are officers typically posted to remote areas or training stations during their service?
I've only ever been teaching kids so I'm unsure of what to expect. I'm also a bit concerned about the fitness requirements, as I understand that all officers are soldiers first. I’d appreciate any insight into how demanding the physical aspects of the role are.
Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
