We’re looking for enthusiastic and committed Service Instructors to join our team and help shape the future of 2497 (Cosford) Squadron RAF Air Cadets.
About us
At 2497 (Cosford) Squadron, we’re proud to be part of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, a national youth organisation that empowers young people aged 12 to 20 to develop leadership skills, resilience, and confidence through exciting opportunities like flying, adventure training, sports, and community service.
We meet twice a week and we’re always looking for volunteers who are willing to try their hand at anything. You could find yourself teaching skills, running activities, or providing encouragement and moral support. If you have specialist skills, we can use them. If you want to learn new skills like rock climbing or gliding, we can train you.
Benefits of being a volunteer
Being a volunteer is rewarding and has a lot of different benefits.
- learn skills in a range of areas
- develop leadership qualities
- personal development
- gain qualifications in areas like mountain leadership, first aid and NVQs
Whatever you decide to focus on, all volunteers gain a huge sense of achievement from helping young people realise their potential.
To be a volunteer you need to
- Be a member of the Armed Forces
- commit to a certain number of hours
- understand young people and their needs
- be patient, responsible and kind

You do not need
- experience of working with young people
- relevant skills like flying or gliding
Typical joining process
- Submit an expression of interest
