Job description

NEW CADET UNIT OPENING MANAGER - VOLUNTEER 

Lead the setup, opening, and launch of new Ranger Cadet Units across London — and create the template that will shape our national expansion.

This is a role for builders, organisers, visionaries, and leaders who want to leave a legacy that lasts.

THE ROLE: ARCHITECT OF OUR FUTURE GROWTH

As a New Cadet Unit Opening Manager, you will be responsible for designing, launching, and establishing the very first Ranger Cadet Units in London — our pilot area and future flagship.

Your work will become the blueprint for every unit that follows.

You will:

  • Design a replicable unit‑opening template used across the entire organisation.

  • Lead the full setup and launch process for new cadet units.

  • Coordinate logistics, planning, and operational readiness.

  • Recruit and support local volunteer teams to run the units.

  • Ensure safeguarding, standards, and organisational procedures are in place.

  • Create a strong ceremonial and cultural identity within each new unit.

  • Work closely with senior leaders to refine and improve the model.

  • Turn the London pilot into a flagship example for national rollout.

Your leadership will determine how Ranger Cadets grows — not just in London, but across the country.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Ranger Cadets is at the beginning of its journey. We are building something new, something meaningful, something that will serve young people for generations.

But every movement needs a strong foundation.

The New Cadet Unit Opening Manager ensures:

  • Units launch smoothly, safely, and with pride.

  • Volunteers feel supported and confident from day one.

  • Young people walk into a well‑run, inspiring environment.

  • The organisation grows with structure, clarity, and purpose.

  • Our pilot becomes a model of excellence for future expansion.

Your work will shape the DNA of Ranger Cadets.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You don’t need previous cadet or uniformed experience — though it’s welcome. What matters is your ability to build, organise, and lead.

We are seeking individuals who are:

  • Strategic thinkers with strong organisational skills.

  • Confident project leaders who can manage multiple tasks.

  • Passionate about youth development and community impact.

  • Skilled at bringing people together and motivating volunteers.

  • Comfortable working independently and taking initiative.

  • Able to create structure, templates, and repeatable processes.

  • Excited by the challenge of building something from the ground up.

If you have experience in operations, project management, community organising, youth work, or launching new initiatives, this role will feel like a perfect fit.

A CHANCE TO CREATE A LEGACY

This is not just a volunteer role. It is a founding position with long‑term impact.

As the New Cadet Unit Opening Manager, you will:

  • Shape the first Ranger Cadet Units in London.

  • Create the model for national expansion.

  • Influence the culture, standards, and identity of the organisation.

  • Leave a legacy that future volunteers and cadets will build upon.

You will be able to look back and say: “I helped build this movement from the very beginning.”

STEP FORWARD. BUILD THE FIRST UNITS. SHAPE THE FUTURE.

If you believe in the power of youth… If you want to build something meaningful and lasting… If you’re ready to lead with purpose, clarity, and vision…

Then Ranger Cadets needs you.

Become a New Cadet Unit Opening Manager today — and help launch a movement that will change lives for generations.
