The purpose of Soldier Development is to stimulate individual behaviours developing physical and mental robustness of the recruit which underpin the Army Leadership Code.

The Scope of the contract includes: Operations Manager: Responsible for planning and managing the weekly training programme, overseeing contracted staff resources, ensuring currency and competency of instructional staff, managing fixed contract staff responsibilities, overseeing staff CPD, recruitment, pay, staff reporting, conducting training deliver, and conducting PPE checks/conditioning boards.
