Joining as an Adult
Adult staff have a crucial role to play within the Air Cadet Organisation, as without them
the Air Cadets could not offer the vast range of activities it does. As well as helping
cadets realise their potential, adult staff can also gain valuable academic qualifications and
leadership skills which are highly valued by employers.
2469 squadron and the ATC are not just looking for cadets, we also have vacancies for adult staff to help run and organise squadron activities. You can do this as either a Civilian Instructor, Adult NCO or as a Volunteer Reserve Officer - VR(T).
You do not need to have been a cadet or a member of any armed forces to join. You need to be a minimum of 20 years of age, but there is no upper age limit as a civilian instructor, although uniformed officers retire at 55.
While you will not be paid you will be provided with all the necessary equipment for your role, including special clothing and uniform. The real benefit comes from the opportunity to experience many activities and training for free.
Isn't it time you expanded your horizons?
Our organisation needs high calibre adult volunteers to run its activities.
If you want an extra challenge and wish to use and develop your leadership skills - and gain qualifications into the bargain - check out the adult recruitment section on the Air Cadet Organisation website.
If you've got a sense of adventure and a few hours to spare, you can help us help young people realise their potential. So what exactly is the secret of helping young people to become high flyers?
Air Commodore Jon Chitty said:
"Quite simply, we give our cadets the opportunity to gain
self-confidence and develop strong personal qualities, whilst taking part in exciting and challenging
activities. We aim to develop enthusiastic and responsible members of society who strive to
succeed in whatever occupation they choose and the results prove we are successful."
Getting involved as an adult instructor and helping shape the future of tomorrow's leaders is easy.
If you are interested in joining, or simply want to find out some more about us, then come along to the squadron on a parade night (Monday or Thursday) between 1900 and 2130.
