Over 20? 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 for the future. And a
huge part of that planning is you. As the backbone of
our organisation we're always on the look out 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 or gliding, 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! |

Are
You Officer
Material?________________________________________________________________ |
| We rely on our volunteers to help us
operate as effectively as possible. Being well organised
is an obvious must, ideally with good managerial and
administrative skills, and an ability to listen to
problems and deal with them tactfully and appropriately. |
| Really show your skills in these
areas and you could end up taking on more responsibility
and moving up through the ranks as an officer. Of
course, first you have to join as a Civilian Instructor
and then have selection interviews at Wing HQs and
Regional HQs but we guide you through that…if you have
the potential for a commission to become an officer in
the Training Branch of the RAF Reserve we’ll spot it! |

opportunities when you join us as a
Civilian Instructor,
Civilian Gliding Instructor or
Chaplain. |
