Information on all the current posts via the Reserve Assignments Opportunities List (RAOL) is available under Documents. If you are actively seeking employment you should check this site for new posts each week.

Personnel may only apply for a maximum of 2 posts at any one time.

To apply for a post, make a note of the Post Reference Number, complete the FTRS Application Form under Documents and send to:

FTRS Liabilities/Boards
MS Reserves
Mail Point 212
Kentigern House
65 Brown Street
Glasgow G2 8EX.

Applications can also be sent to:
Fax: 0141 224 8746
Email: mcdougallm453@apc.army.mod.uk

The sole mechanism for expressing interest in FTRS posts is by submitting a FTRS Application Form, which for all TA personnel must be countersigned by the TA CO.

MS Reserves do not maintain a 'waiting list' of potential volunteers. Reservists seeking full-time employment should monitor the RAOL and if they consider themselves suitable, should formally apply for posts as advertised.

Latest Information

Applicants should note that a number of NRPS posts have been redesignated as FTRS (HC) and can now be viewed as such under Terms and Conditions of Service.

Only British Citizens who are members of the TA and Regular Reserve who have a Reserve liability are eligible to undertake an FTRS Commitment. There is no fee to be paid when applying for a FTRS position.

If you apply for a post that is above your current substantive rank, we will normally provisionally sift you out of consideration unless there are no other suitably qualified applicants in the stated required rank. We will continue to hold your details and may submit them to the employer(s) where those applicants who meet the minimum rank requirements are declared unsuitable by the selection authority.

With effect from 01 Apr 09 all applications for FTRS must be submitted via the Application Form available on this site. Previous versions must not be used and may be returned without action.

All Applications must include a RAOL Post Reference Number. Without this information the Application will be returned.
