New Trustee members for Uniformed Youth Organisation Management committee

What will you be doing?

Do you have experience in supporting charitable objectives? Do you have the ability to attend 1 meeting every 6 or so weeks? Would you like to support the development of young people?

Chiswick Sea Cadets is its own stand alone charity and part of the wider Sea Cadet Corps.

As a charity and part of the SCC we are required to have a unit management team (UMT) who are in charge of providing suitable facilities, raise funds, and maintain a safe environment for the 10-18 year olds and staff that are part of our unit.

We are looking to recruit some additional experienced Trustees to join our small UMT and help us expand out and create a greater impact on the young people we cater for.

Primary Purpose The primary purpose of the UMT Trustees is to support the Unit Chair (UC) to manage a safe, effective and successful Sea Cadet unit.

Secondary Purposes The secondary purposes of the UMT Trustees are:

To be a charity trustee of the Sea Cadet unit.
To play an active role in the UMT supporting the unit and the sea cadet experience.
To elect from their number a person to serve as UC.

What are we looking for?

The following are the principal tasks of the UMT Trustees but the list is not exhaustive:

Ensuring that the unit’s activities and matters are conducted legally and comply with charity regulations and MSSC policies and procedures.
Ensure the general welfare, safety and protection of volunteers and cadets when they are involved in the sea cadet experience.
Provide properly maintained, serviced, safe and secure unit premises and assets.
To identify unit priorities and potential issues and maintain plans to address those issues.
Raise funds and ensure financial viability of the unit running costs.
Raise funds to provide the resources necessary for efficient and successful training in the unit and other projects as they arise.
Ensure that the unit has a Commanding Officer (CO) and sufficient instructional volunteers to meet the training needs of the cadets.
To ensure that cadets are safeguarded from any form of abuse and to take by following the MSSC Child Protection Policy and Procedures and seeking support/advice from the MSSC Safeguarding team as necessary.
The Sea Cadet Standard Constitution have further guidance for the duties of the UMT Trustees.

You will have experience in supporting charitable objectives.

What difference will you make?

Trustees can help us support the volunteer staff team and 20-40 young people we cater for, and hopefully expand this number through their support with unit development.

Their support will also enable our volunteers the resources needed to give our cadets the best possible head start in life through nautical fun.
