Here is a look at what volunteers do;
Uniformed Instructor
Teach cadets a wide variety of skills and qualifications. Following your induction period you will also take part in a training programme that enables you to guide cadets through our core syllabus. If you have previous experience in the Armed Forces, Merchant Navy or another uniformed youth organisation we will recognise that experience. Many uniformed instructors are former cadets, passing on the skills they learned when they were cadets.
Our uniformed rank structure is aligned to the Royal Navy. There is the chance to rise to the rank of Warrant Officer or be selected as an Officer and some may rise to the rank of Commander. Those joining the Royal Marines Cadets follow a rank structure aligned to the Royal Marines.
Non Uniformed Instructor
Volunteers with a wide range of skills from power boating or sailing to First Aid join Sea Cadets. We ask volunteers to undertake some training (induction, First Aid, Safeguarding) to ensure that cadets will be in safe hands. Further training is available based upon your skills and preferences.
Unit Assistant
Carry out a variety of tasks to help their local unit, for example: mini-bus driver, painter and decorator.
Unit Management Team (UMT)
A Sea Cadet unit is an independent charity and members of the UMT are the trustees.
All volunteers, irrespective of their role undergo a Criminal Records Disclosure check (CRB) when they join the charity.;
