Cadet Group Lead

We require a enthusiastic volunteer to run our Maidstone Dunks Cadet Youth Group Lead. Successful candidate must be able to attend Cadet Youth Group meetings. Successful candidate is required to help train, encourage, support and inspire our cadet volunteers to reach their full potentials, through our youth program, and youth group training program, and encouraging our youth to get involved in Central Kent Network events, community engagement, fundraising

Our vision is to help build communities that save lives and serve each other through volunteering for health and first aid.

Young people play a crucial role in helping us realise this mission. As a volunteer with our youth teams, you’ll be trained to provide our young people with both life skills and lifesaving skills – all while having great fun!

You’ll be working with our brilliant Badgers (aged 7-10) or creative Cadets (aged 11-18). You’ll also have the opportunity to design your own role, whether that involves running fun activities – such as outdoor events, summer camps and mountain adventures – or providing ‘behind-the-scenes’ support.

We’ll offer you the chance to become a fully-fledged Youth Leader, which will mean completing extra courses in First Aid or Adventure to broaden your capacity and experience.

Would you like to volunteer once a week or once a month? That’s entirely up to you. With the constant guidance of a friendly volunteer manager and youth team, you’ll have all the support you need to make bold strides and rediscover your inner ‘big kid’.

We are looking to recruit two enthusiastic individuals to lead our two cadet groups, our current one on Mondays evenings. This will involve attending cadet group sessions from 19:00 to 21:00 on those evenings during term times. This role will also involve administrative duties outside of cadet group sessions, such as planning, supporting young people and developing opportunities.
