Role:
Over 20 and seeking a new challenge? Would you like to develop skills, leadership qualities and gain qualifications too?
At Air Cadets, we constantly assess our past achievements, implement changes to meet the challenges of today and make plans, and a huge part of that planning is you. As the backbone of our organisation, we’re always on the lookout for high-calibre individuals to become volunteers, helping to run the activities that play such an important role in the lives of our young members.
All kinds of people make up our volunteer staff, coming from a range of backgrounds and interests. Obviously, if you have direct experience of working with young people, or any relevant skills such as flying, first aid, shooting, engineering etc., you would be particularly welcome. These aren’t essential though, as we will train and support you at every stage.
That said, you’ll have some personal qualities that are essential, such as patience, maturity and responsibility, along with an understanding of young people and their needs. You needn’t be an athlete, but a good level of physical fitness also helps to ensure you can keep up with the cadets!
Personally, there will be opportunities to go flying, gliding, shooting, do outdoor activities, visit RAF Stations in the UK and abroad, and gain great qualifications.
Time commitment:
During meetings and special events.
About the organisation:
The RAF Air Cadets is made up of two areas:
1. Air Training Corps – The ATC is the RAF’s cadet force, divided into six regions, 34 wings and more than 900 squadrons within communities around the UK.
2. Combined Cadet Force (RAF) – The CCF (RAF) is our section of the CCF which is made up of cadets from all three services, coming together in approximately 200 independent and state schools across the country.
Their aims are to:
1. Promote and encourage a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force among young people.
2. Provide training which will be useful in the Services and civilian life.
3. Encourage the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship.
And there’s one more important thing – it’s a lot of fun!
