Become Sea Cadet Instructor
Organisation
Edmonton Sea Cadets
Do you have enthusiasm and a passion for working with young people from a variety of backgrounds?
Would you like the opportunity to apply this passion in a meaningful role to launch young people for life, whilst also enhancing your skills, boosting your self-esteem and meeting new people?
The Sea Cadets is the UK’s leading maritime charity and provides a head start in life for young people through nautical adventure and fun. Our volunteers work, both directly with young people and behind the scenes, to help make a positive difference to teenagers.
Edmonton Sea Cadets, now based at EcoPark House on the River Lee Navigation, is currently looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join their team as Sea Cadet Instructors. Edmonton is a long-established Sea Cadet Unit that has provided life-changing opportunities for many young people. After a period of closure, we have just reopened the unit at our new location and currently have a very small number of cadets. This is a really exciting time to be joining Edmonton Sea Cadets as we welcome new members and begin to grow our community.
What skills do I need?
Whether you opt to be a uniformed leader, or wear your own clothes, you can be hands-on, teaching cadets. You’ll run lessons, activities, games, projects and events that help cadets progress through The Cadet Experience, gaining qualifications and confidence as they go.
Whatever your experience and skills, they could be utilised to help young people flourish. We would love to hear from individuals who have experience of working with young people and in particular we are keen to hear from anyone with boating skills and qualifications such as kayaking, sailing, rowing and paddle sports.
