Deputy Chief Ranger (Senior Officer) - UNIFORMED VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

RANGER CADETS — DEPUTY CHIEF RANGER (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

Stand beside the Chief Ranger. Build the organisation. Shape the future.

Ranger Cadets is a new, independent, inclusive youth organisation with a bold mission: prepare young people aged 11–21 for life through service, community, skills and positive leadership.

We’re launching something fresh. Something modern. Something meaningful. A uniformed youth organisation built on values, not hierarchy. On community, not competition. On leadership, not labels.

To make this vision real, the Chief Ranger needs a partner — a second‑in‑command with heart, drive, clarity and purpose.

If you’re someone who thrives in start‑up energy… If you love building systems, teams and culture… If you want to help shape a youth organisation from day one… This role is for you.

THE VOLUNTEER ROLE: Be the Chief Ranger’s Right Hand — and a Leader in Your Own Right

As Deputy Chief Ranger, you will help lead the entire organisation. You will be part strategist, part organiser, part motivator, part culture‑builder.

You will:

• Support the Chief Ranger in leading the organisation day‑to‑day

• Help build our first units, volunteers and youth leadership pathways

• Shape the culture, values and identity of Ranger Cadets

• Oversee early programme delivery and ensure quality across units

• Support community partnerships and public engagement

• Help design systems that make the organisation safe, inclusive and effective

• Be a visible leader at events, activities and community projects

• Mentor volunteers and youth leaders as the organisation grows

This is a leadership role with real influence. You won’t just support the Chief Ranger — you’ll help build the organisation alongside them.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Someone who:

• Has natural leadership energy

• Loves organising people, plans and priorities

• Can stay calm, clear and positive under pressure

• Believes youth organisations should be modern, inclusive and community‑focused

• Enjoys teamwork and collaboration

• Wants to help build something meaningful from the ground up

• Can inspire volunteers and young people alike

• Is excited by the idea of shaping a brand‑new uniformed youth organisation

You don’t need formal leadership qualifications. You don’t need youth work experience. You just need passion, commitment, and a desire to make a difference.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Because Ranger Cadets is at the beginning of its journey — and the early leaders will define everything:

• The culture

• The programme

• The partnerships

• The volunteer experience

• The cadet experience

• The future

Your leadership will help create a youth organisation that:

• Builds confidence

• Develops skills

• Connects young people to their community

• Teaches leadership through action

• Gives young people a place to belong and grow

You will help build something that lasts.

WHAT YOU’LL BE PART OF

Ranger Cadets is:

• Independent

• Inclusive

• Community‑driven

• Volunteer‑powered

• Committed to giving young people real opportunities to grow

We partner with local organisations, support community events, and help young people contribute positively to their community.

You won’t just be joining a youth organisation. You’ll be helping build a movement.
