You will play a key role in making a positive difference to young people aged 10-18 who are often struggling in today’s world and their communities. Through fun activities the cadets progress through The Cadet Experience, gaining valuable skills, qualifications and confidence as they go.
Sea Cadets understand the responsibilities people have outside volunteering.

All instructors will be required to undertake mandatory induction training, DBS (paid for by the Sea Cadets) and courses to support your own personal development within your role.
