Deputy Chief Ranger (Senior Officer) - UNIFORMED VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

RANGER CADETS — DEPUTY CHIEF RANGER (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

• Stand beside the Chief Ranger.
• Lead the launch.
• Shape a movement.

Ranger Cadets is a brand‑new, modern, community‑driven uniformed youth organisation with a powerful mission:

To show young people that they can be active citizens, leaders in their communities, and positive forces for change.

We’re building something fresh. Something meaningful. Something that gives young people a place to belong, grow and contribute.

To make this vision real, the Chief Ranger needs a partner — a second‑in‑command with heart, clarity, leadership energy and a passion for community impact.

If you thrive in start‑up environments… If you love building systems, teams and culture… If you want to help launch a youth organisation that will change lives… This role is calling you.

THE VOLUNTEER ROLE: Deputy Chief Ranger

1. Lead with purpose.
2. Support with strength.
3. Build with vision.

As Deputy Chief Ranger, you will be a key leader in the organisation. You will help shape the culture, the programme, the volunteer experience and the cadet journey.

You will:

• Support the Chief Ranger in running and managing Ranger Cadets day‑to‑day.

• Help design and deliver a youth programme rooted in community action and active citizenship.

• Build early units, volunteers and youth leadership pathways.

• Lead by example at events, activities and community projects.

• Support safeguarding, inclusion and organisational standards.

• Help create systems that make the organisation safe, modern and effective.

• Mentor volunteers and young leaders as the organisation grows.

• Be a visible ambassador for our values and mission.

This is not a passive role. This is leadership. This is influence. This is impact.
