Volunteer Posts
Adult volunteers can take two routes in the Sea Cadets: Uniformed and Non-Uniformed.
Uniformed Instructors serve a six month probationary period, or if you have previous experience in the Armed Forces or Merchant Navy you may apply for direct entry. Many of our Uniformed Instructors are ex-cadets, passing on the skills they learned during their time as a cadet.
Non-uniformed volunteers can apply to join Sea Cadets at any age. Many are introduced to the charity when a son or daughter expresses an interest in joining.
Here is a brief insight into the roles available:
Uniformed Instructor
